A compact studio in the Professorenbuurt
This studio on Landstraat 20B sits in the Professorenbuurt, a lively part of Groningen's Oud-Noord district. With 44 m² of living space, it is a compact home that makes the most of its footprint. The building dates from 1932, and the energy label is A+++, which is about as efficient as it gets. At €1,238 per month, the rent is in line with the average for studios in Groningen, though the space is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 80 m².
The Professorenbuurt
The Professorenbuurt neighbourhood is a mix of students, families and long-term residents, with a strong sense of community. One resident, who has lived here for 12.5 years, says: "I feel very safe here, and the neighbours are friendly, the street is tidy, and the Hamburgervijver is just around the corner." Another describes it as "the neighbourhood that has everything," with schools, a gym, playgrounds and plenty of shops. A third notes it is "cosy, though sometimes dirty because rubbish isn't put in the bins," and that there are lots of students, so bike parking can be tight. Based on three reviews, the overall score is 7.62 out of 10.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Lidl is just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, so bread and groceries are never far. The Jumbo and Aldi are both about a ten-minute walk.

The train station is 1.7 km away, and the bus stop at the kade is handy for those who travel often. The municipality of Groningen keeps the wider area well connected.

Frequently asked questions
About Landstraat 20B, Groningen
Is €1,238 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €1,238 is close to the average of €1,249 for rentals in the Professorenbuurt, though the median is €1,093. The studio is 44 m², which is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 80 m², so the price per square metre is higher than average. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the central location and the very efficient energy label.
What does the A+++ energy label mean for this home?
The A+++ label is the most efficient category, which means the home is designed to use very little energy.
