Selwerd, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1964 terraced house on Iepenlaan sits in Selwerd, a neighbourhood that feels like a quiet pocket of Groningen. With 108 m² of living space and an A energy label, it's efficient and ready to go. The asking price of €375,000 is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Groningen, but the combination of size and label is rare here.
Selwerd is a lively, dense neighbourhood (over 4,200 addresses per km²) with a young population, a third of residents are between 15 and 25. One resident calls it "Cosy living in a flat" and says: "There is a shopping centre opposite here so I always have something to see and never get bored." Another is more neutral: "No cohesion." A third sums it up: "Beautiful neighbourhood close to the city." Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood Selwerd scores a 7.2, decent, but not without its critics.
For your morning bread run, Lidl is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Two primary schools, De Wegwijzer and De Pendinghe, are a five-minute walk away, while secondary schools like Gomarus College Magnolia and Kamerlingh Onnes are a couple of streets further. The municipality Groningen has plenty more to offer, but for daily errands you hardly need to leave Selwerd.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaardij Van Santen de Hoog and also appears on Huispedia, so you can compare across two channels.

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.
