Melkweg 26A-K3

A spacious room in a lively Groningen neighbourhood

This is a room in a shared house on Melkweg, in the Schildersbuurt. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €667, the rent is 62% below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which is partly because it's a room and partly because it's a social-housing unit. For context, the average room in the area goes for €611, so this is slightly above that. Compare it with other rooms in Groningen.

Schildersbuurt: young, cosy and lively

The Schildersbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood just west of the city centre. With 5,685 residents and a very high address density (5,819 per km²), it's one of the busiest parts of town. Most households are single-person (3,335 out of 4,320), and the average household size is just 1.3. Two residents have reviewed the area. One says: "I think it's a nice neighbourhood, but I do think there should be more places for the hanging out youth." Another: "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 neighbourhood Schildersbuurt is clearly popular with students and young professionals.
