Cosy neighbourhood with multicultural residents

I have really enjoyed living here from the start. Young and old live here and it is very green. You can easily walk into the city centre and there are many eateries in the area.

Cozy density

I personally experience little cohesion in the neighbourhood. Nevertheless, it is a cosy spot, lots of nice houses, easily accessible. Just a bit lacking in green & not always very clean.

Nice spot in the city

It's a beautiful location close to the canal and the city centre. But that's about it. Little greenery, sense of community, and often dirty streets.

Damsterplein, is that nice?

The neighbourhood has very fast-moving cars, there is no sense of community, and windows have been shot out several times. But it is in the heart of Groningen. And the buildings themselves, although there is a lot of earthquake damage, are beautiful.
