The asking price is 124% above the average asking price in the Villabuurt (€751,125). However, this home is also much larger than average, 280 m² versus 156 m², and sits on a 1643 m² plot. The price per square metre works out at about €6,018, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,486/m². So it is on the high side, but the size and plot are exceptional.
The energy label is E. In the Villabuurt, most homes for sale have a better label: 25% have label A, 12.5% label B, and 50% label C. Only 12.5% have label D or lower. So this home is less energy-efficient than the typical home in the area, which means higher heating costs to expect.
The plot measures 1643 m², which is very generous for a home in the city. The listing does not specify how the garden is laid out, but the size offers plenty of outdoor space. You would need to see the property to judge the garden's condition and orientation.
The Villabuurt is a quiet, leafy residential area with wide streets and large homes. It is predominantly owner-occupied (94%) and has a mix of families and older residents. The neighbourhood has a low crime rate (27 total offences) and is close to parks and public gardens. It is a sought-after area for those who want a suburban feel within the city.
The train station is 2.7 km away, and there are several bus connections nearby. The centre is likely a 15-20 minute cycle or a short bus ride.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Brederoschool (875 m), Joseph Haydn-School (945 m), and Groningse Schoolvereniging (967 m). For secondary education, the Montessori Vaklyceum is 1.1 km away. There is also a special education school, Kentalis Dr. J. de Graafschool, at 778 m.
In the Villabuurt, sold homes took an average of 76 days to sell. That is a bit over two months, which suggests a steady market. The current home has been listed at a high price, so it may take longer to find a buyer.

Mooie huizen, goede voorzieningen, rustig, zo in de stad. toppp
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood, only in the evening when young people are around it's not safe, been shouted at and followed several times.
Auto-translated to English by AII have almost no contact with neighbours. There are three supermarkets within walking distance. Other amenities are also nearby. To get to the city centre, it's always a 15-minute bike ride, which is a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery good. Lots of friendly people and there's always something to do
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for about two years and there is more than enough access to shops/churches/schools etc, that was never a problem. However, this neighbourhood is poorly connected to public transport, which really should be better. This was a major reason for me to want to move, it was too far from e.g. Zernike, friends, or everything on the north side of the city. The neighbourhood always felt safe otherwise. Most of the nuisance came from schoolchildren during breaks at e.g. the shops and around the schools. They often don't put their rubbish in a bin, which I personally found very annoying. Other than that, the neighbourhood is perfectly fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's cosy, the neighbourhood is beautifully green. Shops nearby, public transport nearby and the A28 nearby. Also many schools, primary and secondary. Hoornse Plas is within cycling distance. Open-air swimming pool De Papiermolen is within walking distance. In 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre, perfect!
Auto-translated to English by AIAlways cosy, many different generations and everything is in the neighbourhood. Easy to reach and beautiful surroundings with perfect houses. (Other places here are less beautiful but where I live is gorgeous)

How residents experience their municipality
Ik woon hier nu, met ups en downs qua lawaai/herrie, nu 12,5 jaar. Altijd gekozen om hier toch te blijven, gezien de fijne buren en nette straat, met de mooie Hamburgervijver om de hoek waar ik graag eens zit te relaxen. Alle voorzieningen vlakbij en bushalte aan de kade, ideaal als je vaak en graag reist :). Ik voel me hier onderhand erg veilig, in al die tijd alleen eens een brand geweest maar verder kun je hier rustig je leventje leven, veelal hoog opgeleide buren, wat prettig is in het contact. Ik ben blij dat ik hier nog steeds woon.

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.
