Helpman, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1936 apartment on Van Starkenborghstraat sits in the leafy, established neighbourhood of Helpman, just south of the city centre. With 103 m² of living space and an energy label B, it offers a solid, efficient home. The asking price of €465,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €360,805, but that reflects the larger floor area and good energy rating. For context, apartments in Groningen vary widely in price and size.
Helpman is a calm, residential area with wide streets and plenty of trees. One resident describes it as "mostly every man for himself, with occasional attempts to build a community," noting that contact with neighbours is limited. The same resident appreciates that "there are three supermarkets within walking distance" and that "other amenities are also nearby," though they find the 15-minute bike ride to the city centre a drawback. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (2,675 out of 4,055) and a relatively young population, with many residents aged 25 to 45. It's a very urban area, with an address density of 3,364 per km². Learn more about neighbourhood Helpman.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with another Albert Heijn and a Lidl a couple of streets away. For groceries, Poiesz and Jumbo are within a ten-minute walk. Families have several schools nearby: the Montessori Vaklyceum (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and the Joseph Haydn-School (primary) is about 600 metres away. The municipality Groningen offers a dense network of amenities, with a restaurant and a park both within a few minutes' walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Slim. Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

I have almost no contact with neighbours. There are three supermarkets within walking distance. Other amenities are also nearby. To get to the city centre, it's always a 15-minute bike ride, which is a shame.

About Van Starkenborghstraat 70, Groningen
The asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €360,805, but this apartment is larger (103 m² vs. 94 m² average) and has a good energy label B. The price per m² works out to about €4,514, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,895 per m². So it's on the high side, but the size and efficiency justify some of the premium.
Helpman is a quiet, green residential area with a mix of pre-war and post-war housing. It's very urban (address density 3,364 per km²) but feels leafy. The population is young and largely single, with many students and professionals. Amenities like supermarkets and schools are within walking distance, but the city centre is a 15-minute bike ride away.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The station connects to Groningen's main lines, but the listing doesn't specify which station.
The energy label is B, which is good for a pre-war apartment. It means the home is reasonably efficient, with lower heating costs compared to older, uninsulated properties. In the neighbourhood, only about 13% of homes have label A or better, so this is above average.
Yes, there are several supermarkets within walking distance. Albert Heijn is just 259 metres away, and another Albert Heijn and a Lidl are about 600 metres. Poiesz and Jumbo are within a ten-minute walk, so daily shopping is very convenient.
There are several schools within a short walk. The Montessori Vaklyceum (secondary) is 462 metres away, and the Joseph Haydn-School (primary) is 602 metres. Other secondary schools like Zernike College are also nearby, making it a practical location for families.
The neighbourhood recorded 236 total crimes in the latest data, which for a population of 6,165 is moderate. It's a typical urban area with a mix of residential and commercial activity. The resident review mentions limited neighbour contact but doesn't raise safety concerns.
