Different kinds of people live in my neighbourhood with diverse backgrounds and from various cultures. Also a good mix in terms of ages. There are plenty of activities and facilities. And the neighbourhood is easily accessible. However, busy traffic is sometimes a downside. There is enough green space in my neighbourhood and the maintenance is reasonably good.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood, it's nice and quiet and everything is easy to reach. Shops are conveniently close and there are plenty of public transport options. Schools in the area are also easy to reach and not too far.
Auto-translated to English by AIit's nice being close to the shopping centre, but I don't feel very safe when I walk out of my house.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is fine, amenities are close by and buses run regularly. Safety is a bit of an issue; I haven't experienced any trouble myself, but the things you read in the news are sometimes alarming... Maybe it could be solved with more police (especially in the evenings and at night) on the streets.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, but you see little cohesion among the residents. Shopping centre nearby and for those who study, the University is within cycling distance and Hanze can be reached by bike within 2 minutes. There is also a bus stop a 2-minute walk away.

About Marsstraat 71, Groningen
The asking price is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €331,260, but this home is larger than most (130 m² vs 109 m² average) and has a corner position. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €315,381, so the price is on the high side. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the corner plot.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-tier. In the neighbourhood, 44.4% of homes have label C, and 25.9% have label B. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not as low as with an A or A+ label.
Residents have mixed feelings. One review mentions not feeling very safe when walking out of the house, while others find it fine. The total number of crimes in the area is 254, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's a densely populated urban area, so some noise and activity are normal.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Pendinghe (828 m), Katholieke Daltonschool Bisschop Bekkers (937 m), and De Wegwijzer (975 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.1 km away. There's also a school for special primary education at 888 m.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km from the home. That's about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. The area is well connected by public transport, with several bus options nearby.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 136 m², but that includes the footprint of the house. There is no information about outdoor space in the listing.
