Glimmen Dorp, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Parallelweg sits in the heart of Glimmen, a green village where peace and space are the norm. With a huge plot of 7,510 m², you have plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The home itself covers 342 m² and was built in 1971, with an A energy label, so it's efficient too. At €1,550,000, the price is on the high side, but that reflects the exceptional plot size and the fact that detached houses in Groningen in this segment are rare.
Glimmen is a small village with about 1,090 residents, surrounded by forests and lakes. It's a water extraction area, so the tap water comes from the Drentse A river and groundwater. One resident says: "A beautiful village nestled between two forests and two lakes." Another adds: "Green, rural yet close to all amenities!" The village has many detached houses and a wide choice of associations. Most households are families or couples without children, and the average household size is 2.3. The neighbourhood Glimmen Dorp has a very low crime rate, with only 20 incidents reported.
For your daily shopping, you'll find a Jumbo about 4.2 km away, and an Albert Heijn and Lidl within 4.5 km. The nearest primary school, IKC Quintusschool, is just over a kilometre away, a short walk for the kids. There's also a child daycare centre at the same distance. For a bite to eat, the nearest restaurant is 1 km away. The municipality Groningen offers plenty of nature and cultural activities, with the city centre about 15 minutes by car.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Aimée Staal Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through several channels.

It is my birthplace and I have experienced all the ins and outs of the village. Four years ago, the jackpot of the Postcode Lottery fell in Glimmen. For me, it was much less fun at that time because I was in hospital with serious liver problems, even at New Year's I was still there after two cardiac arrests, luckily resuscitated in time. Then such a lottery prize becomes a side issue; I had four tickets!!!?. But when you almost die, money is not an option. Now more about Glimmen: it is a water extraction area for Groningen, and our tap water comes from the little river Drentse A and groundwater that is pumped up. Glimmen is also historically important; there are stories about Bommenberend staying in a castle and besieging Groningen in the year 1700 or 1800. In Glimmen, there is still a castle in the Drentse A area. Best regards, Jan Jager
Auto-translated to English by AIGlimmen is a leafy village with lots of nature and forest. Many detached houses and a wide choice of associations and clubs. The location is also ideal relative to motorways and Groningen. Haren is a cosy village with a wide variety of shops. Especially in summer some nuisance from air traffic, but not too dominant.
