Badstratenbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Bij de Sluis sits in one of Groningen's oldest corners, the Badstratenbuurt. With 38 m² of living space and a tiny 29 m² plot, it's a cosy, no-fuss home, perfect for someone who values location over square metres. The asking price of €289,500 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €278,722, but that's partly because you're buying into a sought-after street. For context, terraced houses in Groningen vary widely in price and size.
This is the oldest neighbourhood in Groningen, right next to the inner ring of the centre. One resident describes it as "Nice fishermen's cottages, many students but also seniors. Cosy...", and that sums it up well. The area is densely urban (over 5,800 addresses per km²), with a young population: most residents are between 15 and 45. It's a mix of students and long-term locals, giving the streets a lively, slightly bohemian feel. The neighbourhood Badstratenbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households (595 out of 935 residents), so you'll be in good company if you're living solo.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several schools within walking distance: ODS De Starter (primary) is a couple of streets away, and Willem Lodewijk Gymnasium (secondary) is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Groningen has plenty of amenities, but you'll find most of what you need right here in the neighbourhood.

About Bij de Sluis 6, Groningen
The asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €278,722, but the median price in the Badstratenbuurt is €275,000. Given that the home is 34% smaller than the average (58 m²), the price per m² is relatively high. However, the location in a historic, central area justifies a premium for many buyers.
Energy label C is decent for a house built in 1885. It means the home is reasonably efficient, though you can expect higher heating costs than a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 44.4% of homes have label C, and another 44.4% have D or lower, so this is about average for the area.
The nearest train station is 0.6 km away, which is about a seven-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other parts of Groningen or travel further afield.
The neighbourhood is very mixed: a lot of students (340 residents aged 15-25) and young adults (380 aged 25-45), but also some seniors (80 aged 65+). It's a lively, urban area with a high density of single-person households. One resident calls it "cosy" and notes the mix of students and seniors.
Yes, there are several within walking distance. The closest is a Coop at 246 m, another Coop at 325 m, and an Albert Heijn at 393 m. For a quick bite, there's an AH to go at 503 m. Daily groceries are very convenient.
With 38 m² of living space and no garden mentioned, this home is compact. It's more suited to a single person or a couple. The neighbourhood has few families with children (only 30 households), and most homes are small, so it's not a typical family area.
The data shows 42 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita comparison, it's hard to judge. The area is densely populated and central, so it's typical for a city centre. The resident review mentions it's "cosy", suggesting a generally positive atmosphere.
