Living

The province of Groningen has an attractive residential climate. A wide variety of landscapes and housing developments alternate throughout the province. And the homes are relatively inexpensive too!
With its countless facilities and amenities, the city of Groningen plays a pivotal and essential role in the province. This is also where 40% of all the jobs in the province of Groningen are found.

The new housing development ‘De Blauwe Stad’, a superb residential district boasting water features, forestry and good waterway connections, is also approaching completion. De Blauwe Stad is without a doubt set to be one of the Netherlands’ most attractive residential locations. Where else are there houses for sale on a large lake, in the middle of a marvellous nature area? Many of the plots have their own jetty that you can use to directly set off along the waterways. www.blauwestad.nl
