A room in Hoornse Meer
This was a room for rent on Damsport in the Hoornse Meer neighbourhood of Groningen, listed through Roommatch. This listing did not state a floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the room itself. At €718 a month, the rent sat well below the average for rooms in Groningen, so it was keenly priced for the area. This home has not been online since 17 September 2026.
