Living in Gorechtpark-Oost, Midden-Groningen

Gorechtpark-Oost is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south side of Hoogezand, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The streets are spacious, there are mature trees along the pavements and most homes have a garden. It is the kind of neighbourhood where it is quiet in the evenings, where people walk their dogs and where neighbours know each other. That has everything to do with the composition: more than half of the residents are 45 years or older, and the largest group is 65-plus. Families with young children are in the minority.

The name already gives something away: Gorecht Park is within walking distance. This is a green recreational area that residents use for walking, cycling or just being outside. For daily shopping you don't necessarily need to take the car; the shopping centre of Hoogezand is a short bike ride away. Think of a supermarket, pharmacy and some smaller shops. For a wider range of shops or a hospital you drive to Veendam or Groningen city, both within twenty to twenty-five minutes via the N33 or the A7.

Hoogezand-Sappemeer railway station is a few minutes' bike ride away. From there you can reach Groningen Central in about twenty minutes. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who work in the city but prefer to live outside. Bus connections are available, although the car is the primary means of transport for many residents, which is also visible in the relatively high gas consumption of an average of 1,330 m³ per year.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood page of Gorechtpark-Oost you can find the full reviews and scores. One resident writes: "It is very quiet and green here, ideal if you are done with the hustle and bustle of the city. However, you have to take into account that you need the car for many things." The latter is an honest point: if you don't have a car and rely on public transport, you will notice that connections outside peak hours are more limited.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Gorecht-West or Woldwijck-West, Gorechtpark-Oost has a slightly quieter character and higher property values.
