Korrewegwijk: Diverse Neighbourhood in North Groningen City
Korrewegwijk has about 16,710 residents and forms a neighbourhood within the gemeente Groningen in the north of the city. The district is named after the Korreweg, its main street running north from the city centre.

The Noorderplantsoen park borders the district to the south, providing green space close to the centre. The Korreweg itself has a varied commercial strip with independent shops and ethnic food stores. The Selwerd hospital complex and university sports facilities lie to the north.
Groningen's city centre is about 1.5 kilometres south. The main railway station is roughly 2 kilometres southwest. The Martinitoren is visible from several points in the district.
