What does Oranjebuurt offer?
Appingedam is a former harbor town where 17th-century canal houses still define the streetscape—many now converted into modern homes. You'll find families and couples here who value quiet, yet you're only 15 minutes from Groningen for work and going out. The Eems river is there if you sail, and the town center is small enough to walk around. House prices are noticeably lower than the city, and you get more space for your money.
