Living in Haren-Zuidwest, Groningen

Haren-Zuidwest is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south side of the former municipality of Haren, which is now part of the municipality of Groningen.

Those who live here consciously choose peace and space, and pay for it accordingly.

The housing stock largely consists of post-war and 1970s homes, with a mix of semi-detached houses, detached homes and a few terraced houses. The gardens are generally large, and the neighbourhood has a neat, well-maintained appearance. This is also reflected in the resident score for beauty: a perfect 10 out of 10.

For daily shopping, you can go to the centre of Haren, within walking distance or a short bike ride. There you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, hairdressers and other basic services.

Resident Anja gives the neighbourhood an 8.8 and describes it as follows: "I really enjoy living here, it's a shame I still have single glazing!"
