NeighbourhoodA room on Heymanslaan
This rental room on Heymanslaan sits in the lively Professorenbuurt, a neighbourhood that mixes students, families and long-time residents. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, 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 home itself. At €596 per month, the rent is well below the average for rooms in Groningen, which makes it a keen option for someone looking for an affordable base in the city.
The Professorenbuurt
The Professorenbuurt neighbourhood is a busy, mixed area where students and families live side by side. One resident says: "I feel very safe here, in all that time there was only a fire once, but otherwise you can quietly live your life, mostly highly educated neighbours, which is pleasant in contact." Another describes it as "the neighbourhood that has everything", with schools, a gym, playgrounds and plenty of shops, though they note that rubbish is often left next to the bins. A third resident mentions the many students and the occasional shortage of bike parking, but calls it "a great place to live". Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores an average of 7.57 out of 10. The area is densely populated, with many single-person households and a large share of young adults.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a couple of streets away. A PLUS and a Jumbo are both within a ten-minute walk. For schools, the Openbare Basisschool Karrepad is a five-minute walk, and St. Franciscus is a bit further. The neighbourhood has a park or plantsoen on your doorstep, and the train station is about 1.7 km away. The municipality of Groningen offers a wide range of amenities, from restaurants to a library, all within easy reach.

Is €596 a fair price for this room?
The rent of €596 is 49% below the neighbourhood average of €1,179 for rental properties. However, this is a room, not a whole home, and the listing does not state the floor area, so a direct comparison is difficult. Rooms in the area average €651 per month, so this rent is on the lower side.

Experiences from Professorenbuurt
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Ik woon hier nu, met ups en downs qua lawaai/herrie, nu 12,5 jaar. Altijd gekozen om hier toch te blijven, gezien de fijne buren en nette straat, met de mooie Hamburgervijver om de hoek waar ik graag eens zit te relaxen. Alle voorzieningen vlakbij en bushalte aan de kade, ideaal als je vaak en graag reist :). Ik voel me hier onderhand erg veilig, in al die tijd alleen eens een brand geweest maar verder kun je hier rustig je leventje leven, veelal hoog opgeleide buren, wat prettig is in het contact. Ik ben blij dat ik hier nog steeds woon.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery beautiful neighbourhood in Groningen. Lots of facilities such as various schools, gym, playgrounds and plenty of supermarkets and other shops. What is unpleasant is that there is often rubbish next to the bins. Furthermore, the neighbourhood has many nice small parks and you are within no time in a quiet natural environment where you can enjoy walking, running, cycling etc. All in all, this neighbourhood is perfect for students but also for families and other city dwellers.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's quite a nice neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:
