Frequently asked questions
About Bedumerstraat 5, Groningen
Was €209,500 a fair price for this studio?
At €209,500, this studio was the cheapest of the seven homes at the time for sale in De Hoogte. The average asking price in the neighbourhood was €290,571, so this one was 28% below that. However, the floor area of 42 m² is also 46% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 78 m². Compared to similar studios in Groningen, the price per m² worked out at about €4,988, which was higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,050 per m², so you're paying a premium for the compact size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1983). In De Hoogte, 55.6% of homes have label C, and 33.3% have label A. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy bills. It's not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but it's better than older properties with labels D or lower.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
Residents generally feel safe on their own street, but one notes that some streets in the wider district feel less safe. The neighbourhood has a total of 217 reported crimes, which is moderate for an urban area. The community is active, with a street app and neighbourhood initiatives, which helps create a sense of security.

How long do homes typically stay on the market in De Hoogte?
