Selwerd, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1966 terraced house on Acacialaan in Selwerd is a real standout. With 192 m² of living space and an A energy label, it's both roomy and efficient. The asking price of €549,000 is on the high side, 72% above the neighbourhood average, but you're getting a home that's nearly twice the size of the typical Selwerd property. It's currently the most expensive of the 20 homes for sale in the area. For context, terraced houses in Groningen vary widely, but this one is exceptional in its size and energy performance.
Selwerd is a densely populated area (over 4,200 addresses per km²) with a young demographic, a third of residents are between 15 and 25. It's a mix of students, singles and families, though most households are one-person. One resident describes it as a "Beautiful neighbourhood close to the city", while another notes it's "Cosy living in a flat" with a shopping centre opposite. A third review is more neutral: "No cohesion." Based on three reviews, the overall score is 7.2 out of 10. The neighbourhood Selwerd has a high proportion of pre-1970 homes (90%) and a relatively low homeownership rate (21%), so this house is a bit of a rarity.
For groceries, you've got an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Lidl a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: De Pendinghe and De Wegwijzer. Secondary school Kamerlingh Onnes is also close by. The municipality Groningen offers plenty of parks and green spaces, the nearest park is just 300 m away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making city-centre trips easy.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including MakelaarWij B.V., Funda and Vastgoed Nederland. It's widely marketed, so you're getting full exposure to the market.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's getting worse and worse here. I've been living here for 6 years now, but more foreigners are moving in. Two weeks ago, there was a shooting less than 25 metres from the apartment block. Sad.
Auto-translated to English by AISo many foreigners live here and there are so many shootings in this neighbourhood, my child cannot walk around safely, that's why Selwerd looks like a little Turkey.
