Indische buurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1911 terraced house on Billitonstraat has a warm, lived-in feel that suits the Indische buurt perfectly. With 67 m² of living space and a 138 m² plot, it's compact but has a garden to enjoy. The asking price of €259,500 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €353,480, making it a notable entry in the market for terraced houses in Groningen.
The Indische buurt is a diverse, lively part of Oud-Noord with a strong urban character. Based on ten reviews, residents give it a 7.87 average. One resident calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood" and says: "I feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible." Another describes it as "Safe and relaxing" and adds: "Nice neighbourhood with lots of nature, close to the centre but very quiet." A third review is less positive, calling it a "Deprived neighbourhood" with "generally low income." The area has many single-person households and a young population, with most homes built before 1945. For more context, see the Indische buurt neighbourhood.
Daily shopping is easy with a Jumbo and an Aldi just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away. For school runs, IKC Borgman Ebbinge primary school is a couple of streets away, and Gomarus College Magnolia secondary school is also within a ten-minute walk. A park is on your doorstep, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The city centre is close but the street itself stays quiet. For more about the wider area, see the municipality of Groningen.

Old neighbourhood, generally low income.
Auto-translated to English by AII feel at home in this neighbourhood. Very diverse, safe and easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood with lots of nature, close to the centre but very quiet.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but I'm especially a fan of the green surroundings and walking routes. I was also surprised that people from my block like to chat and know each other reasonably well. On the street I don't always feel very safe, because there are relatively many people with (visible) mental health and/or drug problems. Yet after living here for a short time, I noticed that I need to worry less than I thought and most people are very friendly here. I am less of a fan of the amenities here; only the Plus supermarket is in the neighbourhood, but that's not necessarily very affordable for everyone. Furthermore, there isn't much within walking distance. I also notice that, for example, on my street there is quite a lot of litter (now also a lot of old fireworks) and the gardens are generally not maintained. This could certainly be improved (:
Auto-translated to English by AInice park, close to the centre, two supermarkets nearby, also two hairdressers, community centre with many activities and cheap lunch/dinner around the corner. Second-hand clothing shop, flower shop and a few other shops, including two cafeterias, a pizza delivery, in short plenty of amenities. And also just over 5 minutes by bike from the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for 5 years, very pleasant. Lots of nice people. Good for starters.

About Billitonstraat 1, Groningen
The asking price of €259,500 is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €353,480, but the floor area (67 m²) is also 25% smaller than the average of 89 m². Given the compact size and older energy label (E), the price is in line with what you'd expect for a terraced house of this type in the Indische buurt.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly common for a house built in 1911.
The plot is 138 m², which includes the house itself.
The Indische buurt is a diverse, urban neighbourhood with a young population and many single-person households. Residents appreciate its diversity, safety, and proximity to the centre, though some note it has lower incomes. The area has a park nearby and good access to shops and schools.
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting without needing a car.
A Jumbo and an Aldi are both just around the corner (216 m), and an Albert Heijn is 436 m away. For organic options, Ekoplaza is 547 m from the house.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. IKC Borgman Ebbinge primary school is 628 m away, and Gomarus College Magnolia secondary school is 539 m away. Other options include De Kleine Wereld primary school at 782 m.
