De Wijert is a spacious neighborhood located in Groningen South. De Wijert owes its name to a castle that once stood in the area, and the streets are named after several Dutch authors. In the neighborhood park, there is an elephant in the water, which is a truly characteristic feature of this district.
The neighborhood is divided into North and South, with the Van Ketwich Verschuurlaan serving as the boundary. In recent years, a great diversity of housing types has emerged in the area, forming a cohesive whole. Adjacent to De Wijert South lies a large villa district with many grand, detached homes. The neighborhood is multicultural, with many different nationalities and ages living together. Due to the limited supply of private housing, relatively few students live in this neighborhood.
