Experiences from Rivierenbuurt
How residents experience their neighbourhood
The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.
Auto-translated to English by AIStation nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
Auto-translated to English by AIthis is a very nice neighbourhood to live in. everything is within walking distance and cafe de klikspaan in the middle of the neighbourhood is a nice meeting point. the plus is also a nice shop.

Experiences from Oud-Zuid
How residents experience their district
.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a social neighbourhood of students, young people, families and many single people. People greet each other easily. With the many pubs it is lively, little going on. I experience it as a social neighbourhood where people are there for each other and easily strike up a conversation. I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening. Many shops, GPs, pharmacy, supermarket, hairdressers and dining options. Also very nice that there are children living in the area and the community centre is always nice to stay with many activities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy and, in my opinion, fairly safe neighbourhood. I've never felt uncomfortable, at least. Not during the day or late at night. I don't experience much nuisance and am otherwise very happy with the place where I live.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately it is 100% safe but that is almost everywhere. Nice nature atmosphere and beautiful to live in
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood, very tidy and beautiful, and I really enjoy it. The neighbourhood is also very close to the centre, so I can easily get everywhere. Paddepoel or Selwerd are a bit far away, but I hardly ever go there anyway. I sometimes miss social contact with neighbours, and a few more communal spaces in the neighbourhood would be nice.
Auto-translated to English by AIOldest neighbourhood of the city of Groningen, next to the inner ring of the centre. Nice fishermen's cottages, many students but also seniors. Cosy ......
Auto-translated to English by AIOld-fashioned cosiness, good contact with the neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 4 years!! Very nice.

Experiences from Groningen
How residents experience their municipality
Ik woon hier nu, met ups en downs qua lawaai/herrie, nu 12,5 jaar. Altijd gekozen om hier toch te blijven, gezien de fijne buren en nette straat, met de mooie Hamburgervijver om de hoek waar ik graag eens zit te relaxen. Alle voorzieningen vlakbij en bushalte aan de kade, ideaal als je vaak en graag reist :). Ik voel me hier onderhand erg veilig, in al die tijd alleen eens een brand geweest maar verder kun je hier rustig je leventje leven, veelal hoog opgeleide buren, wat prettig is in het contact. Ik ben blij dat ik hier nog steeds woon.
Auto-translated to English by AIMooie huizen, goede voorzieningen, rustig, zo in de stad. toppp
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are friendly, I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is always something to do. There are supermarkets and plenty of other shops, cafeterias, fresh bread from the bakery. Market once a week, a nice park with ponds for fishing.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, it's safe to cycle home in the evening but it's not super either. And there is a huge piece of nature
Auto-translated to English by AIActually, everything is just fine. There are several eateries in the neighbourhood, supermarkets are close by, bus stops, you can park your bike easily, and with the city beach there is also a beautiful and well-known green area.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything in the neighbourhood: shops, sports facilities, schools, community centres. So something for everyone.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored
