About Van Heemskerckstraat 3A-K5, Groningen

The rent is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €1,413, which is keen. However, without the floor area, it is hard to compare on a per-square-metre basis. The average room rent in the neighbourhood is €715, so this room is above that, but it may include utilities or be larger than average.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
I moved to the Zeeheldenbuurt in mid-2021. My first impression was immediately positive, a nice neighbourhood where students, starters and families live together. However, more communal facilities and amenities (think meeting places) would be a good addition to the neighbourhood.

How residents experience their district
.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a social neighbourhood of students, young people, families and many single people. People greet each other easily. With the many pubs it is lively, little going on. I experience it as a social neighbourhood where people are there for each other and easily strike up a conversation. I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening. Many shops, GPs, pharmacy, supermarket, hairdressers and dining options. Also very nice that there are children living in the area and the community centre is always nice to stay with many activities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy and, in my opinion, fairly safe neighbourhood. I've never felt uncomfortable, at least. Not during the day or late at night. I don't experience much nuisance and am otherwise very happy with the place where I live.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately it is 100% safe but that is almost everywhere. Nice nature atmosphere and beautiful to live in
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood, very tidy and beautiful, and I really enjoy it. The neighbourhood is also very close to the centre, so I can easily get everywhere. Paddepoel or Selwerd are a bit far away, but I hardly ever go there anyway. I sometimes miss social contact with neighbours, and a few more communal spaces in the neighbourhood would be nice.
Auto-translated to English by AIOldest neighbourhood of the city of Groningen, next to the inner ring of the centre. Nice fishermen's cottages, many students but also seniors. Cosy ......
Auto-translated to English by AIOld-fashioned cosiness, good contact with the neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 4 years!! Very nice.

How residents experience their municipality
Mooie huizen, goede voorzieningen, rustig, zo in de stad. toppp
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are friendly, I enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is always something to do. There are supermarkets and plenty of other shops, cafeterias, fresh bread from the bakery. Market once a week, a nice park with ponds for fishing.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, it's safe to cycle home in the evening but it's not super either. And there is a huge piece of nature
Auto-translated to English by AIActually, everything is just fine. There are several eateries in the neighbourhood, supermarkets are close by, bus stops, you can park your bike easily, and with the city beach there is also a beautiful and well-known green area.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything in the neighbourhood: shops, sports facilities, schools, community centres. So something for everyone.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored
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.
