Haren-Noord, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Oosterweg sits in a leafy part of Haren, with a generous 1120 m² plot that gives you plenty of outdoor space. Built in 1955, the 165 m² home has an energy label D, which is less efficient than much of the current housing stock. At €1,295,000, the asking price is 91% above the neighbourhood average of €677,000, so it is on the high side compared to other homes in Haren-Noord. For context, detached houses in Groningen command a premium, but this one is at the top end.

About Oosterweg 95, Haren Gn
The asking price is 91% above the neighbourhood average of €677,000, which makes it one of the more expensive homes in Haren-Noord. However, the property sits on a large plot of 1120 m², which is unusual for the area. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €3,761, so the price per m² here is about €7,848, well above that. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the plot size and the location.
The home has an energy label D. In Haren-Noord, most homes for sale have better labels: 28.6% are A+, 7.1% A, 14.3% B, and 28.6% C. Only 21.4% are D or lower. So this home is less efficient than average for the neighbourhood, meaning higher heating costs can be expected. The exact running costs depend on usage and energy prices.
The plot measures 1120 m², which is very generous for a detached house in Haren-Noord. The average floor area of homes sold in the neighbourhood is 198 m², so this plot is significantly larger than typical. The outdoor space is a key feature, but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other landscaping, you would need to see it in person.
Haren-Noord is a family-friendly area: 640 households have children, and the average household size is 2.5. The neighbourhood has a low urbanity level (4 out of 5, with 1 being most urban), so it is quiet and green. There are several schools within a few kilometres, and parks are nearby. The area is predominantly owner-occupied (70%), which often indicates a stable community.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15,20 minute walk. The station provides connections to Groningen and beyond. The neighbourhood has a moderate address density, so public transport is probably available but not as frequent as in the city centre.
The closest supermarket is an Aldi at 546 m, followed by an Albert Heijn at 630 m. Both are within a five-minute walk. Ekoplaza and Jumbo are also within a ten-minute walk (850 m and 870 m respectively). For other shopping, the town centre of Haren is about 1.3 km away, where you will find restaurants and a library.
The house was built in 1955, so it is nearly 70 years old. The energy label D suggests that insulation and heating systems may not be up to modern standards. The listing does not mention any renovations or updates, so you should assume that some maintenance and upgrades may be needed. The large plot offers potential for extensions, but that would require permits.
In the past period, 25 homes were sold in Haren-Noord at an average price of €811,000 and an average time on market of 22 days. The current asking price of €1,295,000 is significantly higher than that average, but it is also a detached house on a large plot, which is a rare combination. The most expensive home currently for sale in the neighbourhood is €1,495,000, so this one is near the top.
