Living in Noordoost: multicultural, green and surprisingly close-knit
Noordoost is not a glossy city neighbourhood, but an area with character. The neighbourhood consists of recognisable sub-areas such as Beijum-West, Beijum-Oost, Van Starkenborgh and the rural Noorderhoogebrug. Residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.4 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl based on 13 reviews. Green spaces (8.2) and accessibility (8.0) score notably high. Resident Tia Meijer describes it as a "large, child-rich neighbourhood with all cultures" where "there is a lot of greenery in the area and there is plenty to do for young and old". That is true: the Beijumpark, the banks of the Beijumkanaal and the green zones towards the Kardingermeer offer space that you won't find in the Centrum or Oud-Noord.
In terms of amenities, Noordoost has plenty to offer. Beijum shopping centre has an Aldi, a Lidl and various specialist shops for daily groceries. Tia does note that "the shopping offer leaves something to be desired" and that more budget shops could be added. For a larger selection, you can drive to the Sontplein or the city centre in ten minutes. There are plenty of schools: primary schools such as De Ploeg, De Pendinghe and Het Palet are spread throughout the neighbourhood. Kardinge sports park, with a swimming pool, ice rink and athletics track, is literally around the corner. Accessibility is good: bus line 1 (towards Hoofdstation and UMCG) and line 15 run frequently. Via the ring road (N28/N46) you are quickly on the A7 towards Drachten or the A28 towards Assen. You can reach Groningen Hoofdstation by bus in about twenty minutes.
Social life varies per area. Ann describes her street as a place where neighbours organise "coffee moments, meal moments, neighbourhood day and New Year's drinks" and where people "look after each other's children and homes". More residents recognise that picture: Joop calls it a "nice neighbourhood on the edge of Groningen". At the same time, Noordoost is not equally cosy everywhere. Marjan writes matter-of-factly: "Everyone keeps to themselves." And Rajna reports that there are sometimes loitering youths setting off fireworks at night. The safety score of 7.1 reflects that: fine during the day, but slightly less comfortable in the evenings in some places. On the neighbourhood page of Noordoost you can read all the reviews and sub-scores.

Large family-friendly neighbourhood with all cultures! Lots of green in the area, and there's something for everyone from young to old! Only the shopping options leave something to be desired, there could be a few more budget shops for people on a tight budget, which is a shame...
Auto-translated to English by AII usually feel safe, although at night there are sometimes loitering youths who, for example, set off fireworks, vape, play music. There are also a few people in the neighbourhood who don't function perfectly mentally, such as a neighbour who very often screams with a scary dog. But otherwise there is a lot of nature in Beijum and there are many residents who are very kind.
