Homes for sale in Noordbroek, Midden-Groningen

Purchase prices in Noordbroek: spacious homes with a WOZ value above the municipal average

Noordbroek is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 66% of the approximately 820 homes are owned, compared to 34% rented. The average WOZ value is €258,000, which is noticeably higher than the municipal average of €239,000 for Midden-Groningen. This difference reflects the type of housing that dominates here: large, detached houses and characteristic farmhouses on spacious plots, no flat apartments. In the past twelve months, 8 owner-occupied homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €533,938 and a remarkably wide range from €225,000 to €1,489,000. This spread says a lot about the supply: alongside entry-level homes, there are also substantial rural properties that rarely come onto the market. The average living area of 315 m² confirms this picture. For current asking prices and selling times, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Living in Noordbroek: quiet, close-knit community and a clear lack of bus services

Noordbroek is a small village with around 1,850 residents, located in the Oldambt-like landscape of Midden-Groningen. It has no bustling centre, and that is precisely what many residents are looking for here. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores a 7.4 out of 10. Resident Carolyn aptly describes the village as "ristigt": quiet, peaceful and nice, although public transport is a clear pain point. Accessibility therefore receives the lowest sub-score with a 5.0. Those without a car quickly notice this. The nearest train stations are Hoogezand-Sappemeer and Scheemda, both about ten to fifteen minutes away by car. Via the N387 and the connection to the A7, you can reach Groningen city in about 25 minutes. More about the neighbourhood, the full resident score and all sub-scores can be found on the neighbourhood page of Noordbroek.

In terms of amenities, Noordbroek is modest but functional for those accustomed to village life. There is a primary school in the village itself. For daily groceries, you drive to Hoogezand or Scheemda, where supermarkets and other shops can be found. For sports, local clubs are active, including a football club. The surroundings offer space for walking and cycling through the open Groningen landscape, although greenery scores a 6.0, not its strongest point. Safety (8.0), sense of community (8.0), beauty (8.0) and housing (8.0) score notably high, which fits a village where people know each other and the streets are well-maintained. Those wanting more urban amenities can also look at Sappemeer or Hoogezand-Zuid, which offer more in terms of facilities.

The population composition also tells something about the atmosphere. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (570 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (490). So these are mainly established households, often without children living at home. You notice this in the quietness on the streets and in the way the village functions. The rural area around the village offers even more space and countryside; there you find the larger estates and farmhouses that also appear in the sales data. Also check out Noordbroek Buitengebied if you are looking for even more space and privacy.

For which buyers is Noordbroek a good choice?
