Frequently asked questions
About Violenstraat 8B, Groningen
Is €533 a fair price for this room?
The rent of €533 is well below the average for rental properties in the neighbourhood, which stands at €1,896. That average includes much larger homes, though, and this is a compact room of 27 m². Compared with the average price per square metre for rooms in the area, this rent is on the lower side. It is social housing, so the rent is set at a level that is meant to be affordable.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, which is the least efficient label on the scale. This means you can expect higher energy costs compared with homes that have a better label. The label is an official registration, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building itself. It is simply the rating that has been registered for this room.
How big is this room?
The room has a floor area of 27 m². That is considerably smaller than the average rental property in the neighbourhood, which is 311 m². For a single person, this is a compact but workable space. The listing does not state how many separate rooms there are, so the 27 m² is the total living space.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Residents describe the Hortusbuurt-Ebbingekwartier as vibrant, central and quiet at the same time. One resident says: "A vibrant neighbourhood with lots of nice people." Another mentions that all amenities are within walking distance and that you are in the city centre in no time. A third notes that the neighbourhood is cosy and quiet, though there is sometimes litter on the streets.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.2 kilometres from the room. That is roughly a ten-minute walk, depending on your pace. The neighbourhood is well connected, and the city centre is also close by. For getting around the city, you can easily park a bike, as one resident points out.
What shops are nearby?
There are several supermarkets within easy reach. An Ekoplaza is 153 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 161 metres away, so both are just around the corner. A Jumbo and an Aldi are both 324 metres away, which is a short walk. For a wider choice, a PLUS is 590 metres from the room.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this room is social housing. That means the rent is set at a level that is meant to be affordable, and it is likely subject to the rules that apply to social housing in the Netherlands. The rent of €533 per month reflects that status. The listing does not state any specific conditions, so it is best to check the details with the landlord.
