A room in the Schildersbuurt
This was a room for rent on Herman Colleniusstraat in the Schildersbuurt, a lively part of Groningen's Oud-West district. 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 €646 a month, the rent sat well below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which was €1,333. For context, [rooms in Groningen]( /huurwoningen/groningen/kamers/ ) typically go for less, but this one is still on the lower end for the area. This home has not been online since 2 November 2026.
The Schildersbuurt
[The Schildersbuurt neighbourhood]( /buurt/schildersbuurt-groningen/ ) is a cosy, lively part of town, according to the two residents who reviewed it. One says: "I think it's a nice neighbourhood, but I do think there should be more places for the hanging out youth." Another describes it as "Incredibly cosy fresh neighbourhood. You notice that many young people live here but there is relatively little nuisance. Although there are nice bars in the area. Also, at New Year's there is a nice tradition of making a fire on the roundabout, very cosy!!" The area is dominated by single-person households, and most residents are between 15 and 45.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Jumbo is just around the corner, with a SPAR a couple of streets away and a Coop not much further. The nearest primary school, the Nassauschool, is a five-minute walk, and there are several other schools within a ten-minute walk, including CSG Augustinus for secondary education. The train station is about 1.3 km away, so a walk of around fifteen minutes. [The municipality of Groningen]( /gemeente/groningen/ ) is known for its student life, and this part of town fits that picture.
