A studio in the heart of Oosterpoort
This studio on Nieuwstraat is a compact piece of Groningen history, built in 1899. With 44 m² and an energy label C, it's a manageable space in a neighbourhood that's anything but quiet. At €245,000, the asking price was 24% below the neighbourhood average of €323,611, which made it a keen entry point into the local market. For context, studios in Groningen tend to be smaller and more affordable than family homes. This home has not been online since 3 August 2026.
