Hortusbuurt-Ebbingekwartier, Groningen
NeighbourhoodThis 1890s townhouse on Zuiderkerkstraat is a real head-turner.

At €799,000, the price is 46% above the neighbourhood average of €546,518, but you're getting 75% more space than the typical home in the area, so it's on the high side, but the size explains it. For context, terraced houses in Groningen vary widely in price and condition.

Actually, everything is just fine. There are several eateries in the neighbourhood, supermarkets are close by, bus stops, you can park your bike easily, and with the city beach there is also a beautiful and well-known green area.
Auto-translated to English by AIReally great! All amenities are within walking distance, including a small park. You're in the city centre in no time. Nothing to complain about really
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is cosy and quiet. The park is easily accessible and the people in the area are friendly, but there is often litter on the streets, which is a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. It's a cosy, green and pleasant neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIIn our neighbourhood, everyone knows each other a bit
Auto-translated to English by AIAccessibility by bike is great because it's very close to the city centre, but less so by car due to the crowds and many one-way streets. There are mainly buildings, so there isn't much greenery, but at the Nieuwe Kerkhof there's a nice little park with enough green; also, the neighbourhood borders the Noorderplantsoen, the largest park in the city. Hygiene leaves something to be desired; occasionally I see vomit from students or dog poop on the street. Safety also leaves something to be desired; there are quite a few junkies and homeless people on the street. As a man, I don't feel unsafe, but I can imagine women do. Also, bikes are often stolen, etc. The community is fine, not close-knit or anything, but diverse: many students, but also elderly people and couples. I occasionally have noise nuisance from students. Housing is very good in this neighbourhood: beautiful houses that represent the old centre well, combined with nice new-build apartment complexes. As for education, there's something for everyone within a 10-minute bike ride, from primary schools to the Zernike Campus. Finally, all the amenities I need are within walking or cycling distance.

About Zuiderkerkstraat 4, Groningen
The asking price is 46% above the neighbourhood average of €546,518, but the home is also 75% larger than the typical property in Hortusbuurt-Ebbingekwartier (205 m² vs 117 m²). The average price per m² in the area is €5,010, so at roughly €3,898 per m², it's below that benchmark. Given the size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a home of this calibre.
The home has energy label C. That's decent for a house built in 1890, it means it's reasonably efficient, but you'll likely have higher heating costs than a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have label A+++, 36.7% label A, and only 10% are D or lower, so this is around the middle of the pack.
Residents rave about the convenience: supermarkets (Ekoplaza, Albert Heijn, Jumbo) are within a 5-minute walk, and the Noorderplantsoen park is just around the corner. The city centre is a 10-minute walk, and there are plenty of eateries and bus stops. It's central but not too busy, with a friendly, vibrant atmosphere.
Primary schools within walking distance include IKC Borgman Ebbinge (3 minutes) and St. Michaëlschool (5 minutes). For secondary education, Praedinius Gymnasium is an 8-minute walk, and H.N. Werkman Stadslyceum is about 10 minutes away. There are 78 schools within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
Groningen's main train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk or a short bike ride. That gives you direct connections to the rest of the Netherlands.
The plot is 88 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
