A third notes the area isn't very green, with houses packed closely together, but still finds it accessible. Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.84 out of 10. The area is very urban, with 4,374 addresses per km², and mostly consists of single-person households. Read more about the neighbourhood Rivierenbuurt.

The neighbourhood isn't really green. There are many houses close together, despite that it is a relatively accessible neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close and just far enough from the centre that you're in a quiet, cosy neighbourhood, but you can easily find the bustling centre within 5 minutes. This will only get better when the new station is finished.
Auto-translated to English by AIStation nearby, pub/terrace nearby, supermarket within walking distance and city centre also 5 minutes by bike. But the street is busy with traffic. Other than that, there are many students/young professionals living here, so there's almost never any trouble with crime (once a man was in our garden stealing empty crates of beer), but there can be some noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood to live in! Within walking distance of the city and yet green spaces nearby. Pleasant to live in both as a student and as parents with young children!
Auto-translated to English by AIthis is a very nice neighbourhood to live in. everything is within walking distance and cafe de klikspaan in the middle of the neighbourhood is a nice meeting point. the plus is also a nice shop.

About Viaductstraat 1A, Groningen
At €200,000, this studio is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Rivierenbuurt and sits 40% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €332,820. However, the floor area of 40 m² is half the neighbourhood average of 80 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. Given the compact size and energy label E, the price reflects the home's modest specs.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the Rivierenbuurt, most homes for sale have better labels: 34.6% have label A and another 34.6% have label C. Only 23.1% have label D or lower. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more efficient home.
The Rivierenbuurt has a mixed reputation. One resident mentions "many drug users, many dogs pooping on the street, a lot of noise." Another finds it a "top location" that is quiet and cosy.
