Renting in Groningen: how the market works
Groningen is the undisputed capital of the north and one of the youngest cities in the country. The compact centre around the Grote Markt is loved by everyone; students gather in the Korrewegwijk and Schildersbuurt, the Oranjebuurt is smarter, and families favour leafy Helpman south of the centre.
Of the big cities, Groningen is the most affordable. In the centre reckon on €875 for a studio and €1,100 for two rooms; in the outer districts €775 and €950. Three rooms head towards €1,400 and four-plus-room family homes around €1,750.
The market revolves around the tens of thousands of students at the University of Groningen and the Hanze University. Around the start of the academic year in August and September the squeeze is extreme and homes vanish in no time, so during the peak you have to be on top of it.
