Living in Vinkhuizen-Noord, Groningen
Vinkhuizen-Noord is a post-war expansion neighbourhood on the west side of Groningen, largely built in the 1960s and 1970s. The area mainly consists of porch flats, gallery flats and terraced houses, with the occasional semi-detached house. The streetscape is functional and unremarkable, but the neighbourhood does have character: wide streets, spacious green strips and an open layout typical of that construction period.
Residents give the neighbourhood an average of 7.1 out of 10. Green spaces score highest with 8.1, which you also notice when cycling through: there is plenty of greenery between the housing blocks, and Vinkhuizerpark is within walking distance. Safety scores a remarkably high 8.4, although resident Justin adds a caveat: "A lot of crime in the neighbourhood. Many young people who are part of it. Dangerous roundabouts where many accidents happen." His score of 7.2 shows that experiences can vary. Resident Roger is positive about the social side: "Lots of contact with neighbours, always cosy!" The community score (5.5) and the score for beauty (6.3) leave room for improvement, but for accessibility and facilities the neighbourhood scores 7.0 and 8.1 respectively.
In terms of facilities, Vinkhuizen-Noord is reasonably self-sufficient. Vinkhuizen Shopping Centre, located on Peizerweg, offers a supermarket, pharmacy and various shops for daily groceries. For a larger range, the city centre is easily accessible. There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and for secondary education pupils rely on schools elsewhere in the city. The education score of 6.2 reflects that.
Accessibility is a strong point. Several bus lines connect Vinkhuizen-Noord with the centre of Groningen, and by bike you can reach the Grote Markt in about twenty minutes. By car, the A7 is quickly accessible via the Peizerweg, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters heading to Drachten or Assen. A private parking space is available at many homes or in the immediate vicinity.

Is a home in Vinkhuizen-Noord something for you?

With an average purchase price of €321,635 and homes starting from €169,000, there are options for buyers with a limited budget, although these are usually smaller apartments. Young families who want space without the prices of neighbourhoods like Centrum or Oud-West sometimes find suitable terraced houses here.

If you do not necessarily want to buy, you can also look at rental homes in Vinkhuizen-Noord, where the supply is considerably larger. Keep in mind that the average purchase price (€321,635) is well above the WOZ value (€231,000), which indicates that for popular properties, bids above the asking price may be made.
