Schildersbuurt, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1884 townhouse on Westersingel is a real statement. With 381 m² of living space, it's a home that offers room to breathe, and then some. The asking price of €1,425,000 is well above the neighbourhood average, but then this is no average home: it's more than twice the size of most properties in the Schildersbuurt. For context, the average terraced houses in Groningen sells for considerably less, so this is a premium listing for a very specific buyer.
The neighbourhood Schildersbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a very young population, over half the residents are between 15 and 45. It's a place where people live alone (two-thirds of households are single-person) and where the streets have a lively, sometimes messy energy. One resident calls it a "cosy lively neighbourhood on the edge of the city," adding that "you notice that many young people live here but there is relatively little nuisance." Another says it's "a nice neighbourhood" but wishes there were "more places for the hanging out youth." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.76 out of 10.
For your morning croissant, the Coop is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a ten-minute walk: the St. Michaëlschool and the Nassauschool. For secondary education, CSG Augustinus is about a ten-minute walk. A park or public garden is just around the corner, and the municipality Groningen has plenty more to offer, from restaurants (a couple of streets away) to the train station (a ten-minute walk).
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Sam Farès Makelaars and is also available through other channels.

I think it's a nice neighbourhood, but I do think there should be more places for the hanging out youth.
Auto-translated to English by AIIncredibly cosy fresh neighbourhood. You notice that many young people live here but there is relatively little nuisance. Although there are nice bars in the area. Also, at New Year's there is a nice tradition of making a fire on the roundabout, very cosy!!

About Westersingel 12, Groningen
The asking price is 105% above the average asking price in the Schildersbuurt (€696,800). However, this home is also 168% larger than the neighbourhood average (142 m²), so the price per square metre is roughly in line with the market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the monumental character of a 1884 townhouse.
The energy label is D. That's not the most efficient, in the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have a label D or lower. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's worth noting that the home is from 1884, so insulation may be less modern than in newer builds.
