Very 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is quite cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins, so hygiene isn't always great. Lots of students, so sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike. There isn't really a neighbourhood association or other communities that I'm part of. The area also has a primary school, a university of applied sciences, a nice park, several playgrounds and plenty of other amenities. Definitely a safe neighbourhood, but the houses are very old. All in all, a great place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant neighbours all around, cosy, many amenities in the area, fairly green, people greet each other or have a chat. Annual neighbourhood party. Easily accessible from both sides of the ring road. Safe feeling of living. Both students, elderly and families.
Auto-translated to English by AIA good neighbourhood, but a lot of waste from the Orientals on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a nice neighbourhood! Often there is rubbish from the shop in the street. Otherwise, it's a fun neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AIBecause of the many 'students' and junkies in my complex, I don't feel very safe.. also had a break-in at my previous home and now have very unpleasant neighbours. The housing association does nothing about it

About Heymanslaan 3C, Groningen
At €145,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Professorenbuurt. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €372,948, so this studio is priced 61% below that. However, it's also much smaller than average, 26 m² versus 86 m². Given the size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact studio in this area.
The energy label is D. In the Professorenbuurt, about 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a building from 1935. A D label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. The listing does not provide details on insulation or glazing.
The Professorenbuurt is very popular with students. Around 39% of residents are aged 15 to 25, and many one-person households. Residents mention it's a youthful, cosy area with plenty of amenities, though bike parking can be tight. There's a university of applied sciences nearby, and the city centre is easily accessible.
Lidl is just 191 metres away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. Albert Heijn is 367 metres away, and Jumbo and Aldi are about 758 metres. That gives you several options for daily groceries within a short walk.
The train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride.
At 26 m², this is a studio, essentially one open space plus a separate bathroom and kitchen. It's compact and best suited for a single person. The building is from 1935, so the layout is typical of that era. The listing does not mention whether it has a separate bedroom.
