You can cycle into the city in no time. On our street, there is an annual neighbourhood barbecue. We organise it ourselves. It's always very cosy.

How residents experience their district
I've been living here for almost 12 years now and haven't experienced much commotion, just a few minor incidents and those usually happened a few streets away from my street. It's safe and wonderfully quiet here with a fair amount of greenery, though many pavements could do with some attention.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a close neighbourhood where everyone is there for each other. A neighbourhood on the edge of the city where not many amenities are super far to get to.
Auto-translated to English by AINot much experience with the neighbourhood yet because I only recently moved in
Auto-translated to English by AINice to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AII think there could be a bit more greenery and the neighbourhood could be safer
Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy and friendly neighbourhood, I always feel safe both at night and during the day. A nice neighbourhood for starting families. The centre of Groningen is not too far away..

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in this neighbourhood for 7 months. It's very quiet, green and nice. I have nice neighbours. I think it's a very nice neighbourhood with easy access to the city centre. It has nearby supermarkets. A downside of the neighbourhood is that bus number 6 sometimes doesn't run or is late, and this has caused me problems a few times. It would be good if the bus timetable doesn't change and if it is cancelled, this is communicated well and early.

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
Auto-translated to English by AIVery beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
