A room in the Schildersbuurt
This was a room for rent on Herman Colleniusstraat in the Schildersbuurt, a lively part of Groningen. The listing did not state a floor area, year of construction or energy label, so the rest of this page was mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the room itself. At €618 a month, the rent sat well below the average for rental homes in the area, which was a keen price for a room in this part of town. For a sense of what this price meant, it helped to look at rooms in Groningen. This home has not been online since 11 September 2026.
