Foxham and Hoogezand-Noord from the inside: mixed, busy on the Hoofdstraat, and few shops

Living in Foxham and Hoogezand-Noord means living in a neighbourhood you don't see elsewhere. Resident Jeanine aptly describes it as "mixed, like cotton": apartments next to townhouses, blocks next to terraced houses. This makes the neighbourhood visually diverse and attracts different types of residents. Yet the average resident rating for Foxham and Hoogezand-Noord is only 6.3 out of 10. Residents appreciate the safety (7.5) and the appearance of the neighbourhood (7.0), but are critical of the greenery (4.8) and amenities (5.5).

The biggest pain point recurring in reviews is the lack of a local supermarket or daily shops. Jeanine writes: "such a shame there's no shop" anymore. Another resident calls the neighbourhood downright sparse and says the Hoofdstraat is often a racetrack. The latter is recognisable for those living there: the Hoofdstraat is the main artery of the neighbourhood and attracts a lot of through traffic. This has only become busier in recent years. For daily groceries, you rely on the centre of Hoogezand or the adjacent Stadshart-Noord, where more amenities are available. Primary schools are present in and around the neighbourhood; residents give education a 6.7. For secondary education, you rely on Hoogezand itself.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 6.5. Hoogezand has its own train station, within walking distance or a short bike ride from Foxham and Hoogezand-Noord. From there, you can reach Groningen city in about twenty minutes. By car, the neighbourhood connects to the N33 towards Groningen and Veendam. Bus services run via the Hoofdstraat, but frequency is limited outside peak hours. Those who want to live without a car will notice this in practice. The adjacent neighbourhoods Noorderpark and Oosterpark offer similar housing types and are worth exploring if you are looking in this area.

For whom is buying in Foxham and Hoogezand-Noord a good choice?

Due to the low WOZ value and the relatively wide price range, buying a home in Foxham and Hoogezand-Noord is interesting for first-time buyers and buyers with a limited budget. The average sale price of €302,900 is much lower than in most Groningen city neighbourhoods. However, do take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees, and any structural survey. The neighbourhood is less suitable for those who value daily amenities within walking distance. If you want to orient yourself first or prefer flexibility, you can also look at rental homes in Foxham and Hoogezand-Noord as an alternative.
