NeighbourhoodThis 1913 apartment on Verlengde Nieuwstraat sits in one of Groningen's most sociable corners. With 53 m² and energy label C, it's compact but efficient. The asking price of €295,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €270,000, but given the central location and character, it's in line with the market for apartments in Groningen.

One resident says: "It is a social neighbourhood where people are there for each other and easily strike up a conversation." Another calls it "cosy and, in my opinion, fairly safe." With 5,125 residents and a very high density of 4,492 addresses per km², it's a bustling urban area. Most homes are pre-war, and the mix of ages, from many 15-25 year olds to a solid share of 45-65 year olds, gives it a lively, inclusive feel. Read more about the neighbourhood Oosterpoort.

It 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 AIOosterpoort is a nice neighbourhood, lately there have been some strange people hanging around, but nothing to worry about. It's relatively far from the city and we're a bit in our own village in Groningen. But then you're still in the centre in 5 minutes, mate.

About Verlengde Nieuwstraat 40, Groningen
The asking price of €295,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €270,000, but below the average of €323,611. Given the 53 m² floor area, 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 76 m², the price per m² works out to about €5,566, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,470 per m². So it's on the high side, but the central location and character may justify it.
