A room on the Noorderhaven canal
This is a social-housing room on the Noorderhaven, right in the heart of Groningen. This listing did not state a floor area, year of construction or energy label.

At €607 a month, the rent was 66% below the neighbourhood average of €1,810, which was very keen for the area. For context, the average rent for a room in Groningen was €696, so this was a good deal.
