It is a social neighbourhood of students, young people, families and many single people. People greet each other easily. With the many pubs it is lively, little going on. I experience it as a social neighbourhood where people are there for each other and easily strike up a conversation. I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening. Many shops, GPs, pharmacy, supermarket, hairdressers and dining options. Also very nice that there are children living in the area and the community centre is always nice to stay with many activities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy and, in my opinion, fairly safe neighbourhood. I've never felt uncomfortable, at least. Not during the day or late at night. I don't experience much nuisance and am otherwise very happy with the place where I live.

Auto-translated to English by AIOosterpoort is a nice neighbourhood, lately there have been some strange people hanging around, but nothing to worry about. It's relatively far from the city and we're a bit in our own village in Groningen. But then you're still in the centre in 5 minutes, mate.

About Oosterweg 43, Groningen
The asking price is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €323,611, but that average is pulled down by many smaller flats. For a terraced house with a garden plot in Oosterpoort, the premium reflects the scarcity of this type. The median price in the area is €270,000, so this is clearly at the upper end of the market.
The energy label is D. For a house built in 1893, that is not unusual, most homes in the neighbourhood have labels C or lower (79% are C or below). You can expect higher gas and electricity bills than in a modern home, but the character and location often compensate.
Residents feel safe. One says: "I feel safe here in the neighbourhood and don't mind taking a walk in the evening." Another notes: "I've never felt uncomfortable, not during the day or late at night." The total number of crimes reported in the area is 259, which is moderate for a dense urban neighbourhood.
IKC Borgman Oosterpoort primary school is 132 m away, and De Vrije School Groningen Onderbouw is 674 m. For secondary education, Parcival College is 811 m and H.N. Werkman Stadslyceum is about 1 km. All are within walking or easy cycling distance.
Groningen's main train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach the rest of the Netherlands easily.
The plot is 121 m², which typically includes a small garden. The exact layout is not described in the listing, but for a terraced house of this era you can expect a modest outdoor space.
