A compact studio on the canal
This studio on Jacobijnerstraat sits in the heart of Groningen, a stone's throw from the water and the bustle of the city centre. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home's efficiency. At €766 per month, the rent sits well below the neighbourhood average of €1,397, which makes it a keen option for a single person. For context, studios in Groningen typically command higher rents for more space.

Frequently asked questions
About Jacobijnerstraat 12A1, Groningen
Is €766 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €766 is 45% below the neighbourhood average of €1,397, though the floor area of 24 m² is 72% smaller than the average of 87 m². For a compact studio in the city centre, the price per square metre works out to about €32, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €19.32 per m². So the absolute rent is low, but you are paying a premium for the central location and small size.
What is the energy label for this property?
The agent has not published this detail, so it is not possible to say how efficient the home is. The label would give an indication of expected energy costs, but without it, you would need to rely on the agent for that information.

An Albert Heijn is just 65 metres away, literally on your doorstep. There are also other supermarkets within a short walk: another Albert Heijn at 454 metres, an Ekoplaza at 491 metres, and a Jumbo at 552 metres. For daily groceries, you would not need to go far.
