De Wetstraat 18-2
Transvaalbuurt, Arnhem
AreaA calm spot on the edge of the park
This apartment sits on the second floor of a 1955 building, facing a park and a quiet road in the Transvaalbuurt, a residential pocket of Arnhem. The setting is peaceful, yet the city centre is close enough that residents describe it as handy for everything. At €349,500, the asking price sits 49% below the neighbourhood average of €682,071, which makes it the cheapest of the seven homes currently for sale here. That price is also 4% under the WOZ value, so it is on the sharp side compared with the local market. For context, [apartments in Arnhem] vary widely, but this one undercuts most.
Inside the apartment
The home has three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single floor on the second storey. The living area is listed at 72 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 71 m². There is a balcony, a central heating boiler, and the property is offered in full ownership. A homeowners' association fee of €150 per month applies. The energy label is B, which is an efficient label, so heating costs should be manageable.
Life in the Transvaalbuurt
Residents across the municipality of Arnhem give their living environment an average score of 7.53, based on 71 reviews. One resident says: "Lekker dichtbij alles! Nette buren…" and adds that the city is close by and neighbours look out for each other. Another, who has lived there for 46 years, calls the neighbourhood cosy, though they note traffic can be dangerous because people drive too fast on the narrow street. A third review is blunt: "what a shit neighbourhood". The neighbourhood itself is home to 755 people, with a high share of single-person households. [The Transvaalbuurt neighbourhood] has its own character, and the reviews show opinions differ.
