Frequently asked questions
About Goeman Borgesiuslaan 369, Groningen
Was €885 a fair price for this room?
The rent of €885 was about 34% below the average for rentals in Coendersborg, which stood at €1,339. It was also below the median rent of €947 in the neighbourhood. Given the 34 m² floor area, the price per square metre worked out lower than the neighbourhood average of €11.72. So, compared with other listings in the area, this room was priced on the low side.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy characteristics as recorded.
How big is this room?
The room has a floor area of 34 m². That is considerably smaller than the average rental in the neighbourhood, which is 98 m². So this is a compact living space, typical for a room rather than a full apartment. The size made it suitable for a single person looking for a simple, efficient home.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Coendersborg is a residential area with a mix of ages, though single-person households make up 53% of the homes. There is a park just 200 metres away, and a large supermarket within 500 metres. The area has a calm, green feel, with a good share of owner-occupied homes. It is a well-established neighbourhood, not a bustling student quarter.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.8 kilometres from the property. That is a manageable distance, roughly a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. It makes getting around the city and further afield straightforward. The station is the main hub in Groningen, so connections are frequent.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this is a social housing rental. That meant the rent was regulated and set below the free-market level, which was why it was priced at €885. Social housing is typically aimed at people with a lower income, and there may be eligibility criteria. The listing did not state any specific requirements, so it was best to check the details on the listing.
