Vinkhuizen-Noord, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Amethiststraat sits in Vinkhuizen-Noord, a neighbourhood that's more than just its reputation. With 123 m² of living space and a 130 m² plot, it's a solid family home. At €350,000, the asking price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €307,421, but that reflects the larger-than-average floor area. For context, terraced houses in Groningen vary widely, so this one sits on the higher side of the local market.
Residents give Vinkhuizen-Noord a 7.06 out of 10, based on four reviews. One resident calls it "a very good neighbourhood" with "lots of contact with neighbours, always cosy!" Another notes that "the neighbourhood generally has an undeserved bad reputation. The area is generally safe and well-provided with greenery and recreation." A third review mentions "lots of crime in the neighbourhood. Many young people who are part of it. Dangerous roundabouts where many accidents happen." So it's a mixed picture. The neighbourhood Vinkhuizen-Noord is densely populated (2,882 addresses per km²) and mostly built between 1970 and 1990. Only 23% of homes are owner-occupied, so this house is part of a minority.
For your morning bread, you have Albert Heijn, Lidl and Aldi all just around the corner. For primary schools, Openbare basisschool De Sterrensteen and De Hoeksteen are a five-minute walk away. The municipality Groningen has plenty of parks, the nearest park or garden is on your doorstep. A train station is a ten-minute cycle away, and the city centre is a short bus ride.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Slim. Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a lot of greenery in Vinkhuizen. I find this important. In terms of shops and facilities, there is plenty available. However, as a woman, I don't go out on the street in the evening because things often happen in this neighbourhood.

About Amethiststraat 3, Groningen
The asking price of €350,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €307,421 and the median of €307,500.
