Stadscentrum, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Derde Walstraat sits right in the lively Stadscentrum, where the streets buzz with students, shoppers and café life. At 105 m² it's a good size for the centre, and with energy label B it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €375,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €520,219, and it's also well below the median of €350,000 when you factor in the larger floor area. For context, apartments in Nijmegen vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of space and central location.
The neighbourhood Stadscentrum is dense and urban, with over 4,000 addresses per km². It's a young area: most residents are between 15 and 45, and two-thirds of households are single-person. One resident describes it as "lively" and notes the Albert Heijn around the corner, but also mentions "many homeless people" and a bike being vandalised. Another says: "It's nice to live in the centre. Close to everything you need. Only often rubbish on the ground." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.07 out of 10, a mixed but honest picture of city-centre life.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and PLUS are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: OBS De Buut primary school is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Petrus Canisius is a bit further. For secondary education, Karel de Grote College and Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen are both within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Nijmegen offers plenty of parks, the nearest park or garden is just around the corner, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Hans Janssen Makelaars Nijmegen and Funda. The asking price is €375,000, and the property has been on the market for an unspecified period.

It's nice to live in the centre. Close to everything you need. Only often rubbish on the ground. Otherwise, it's all well organised with how the rubbish is collected and such. Could do more about the homeless people, who are quite numerous, sometimes causing a bit of nuisance because they are always begging in the centre. Especially around Molenpoort it's bad. Could do with more intervention as far as I'm concerned. Not nice if you can't walk without being asked for change. You do see police and enforcement quite often in the neighbourhood, but it could be a bit more. Education is not really in the neighbourhood. It's very accessible by public transport, cycling is sometimes a bit difficult since everyone walks on the street in the centre, also outside pedestrian areas (Molenstraat and Zierikstraat). A minor irritation sometimes.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a student house with 8 nice housemates, a reasonably decent house but plagued by mice. Albert Heijn around the corner. But many homeless people there. Also, my bike was vandalised once. Otherwise, plenty of amenities and nice but small parks.

About Derde Walstraat 49, Nijmegen
The asking price of €375,000 is 28% below the average asking price in the Stadscentrum (€520,219) and slightly above the median of €350,000. Given that the apartment is 105 m², 31% larger than the neighbourhood average of 80 m², the price per m² works out at about €3,571, which is well below the average of €6,201/m². So it's priced keenly for its size and location.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, though not as low as a modern A-label property. In the Stadscentrum, about 29% of homes have label A and 10% have label B, so this is a solid middle-of-the-range performance.
The Stadscentrum has a high number of recorded incidents (3,233 total), which is typical for a very dense city centre. Residents mention issues like rubbish on the street, homeless people begging, and occasional bike vandalism. However, they also note that police and enforcement are seen quite often. It's a lively area with both upsides and downsides.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very accessible by public transport, as one resident notes.
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, around the corner. Despite the dense urban setting, you can reach green space within a few minutes on foot. Residents mention "nice but small parks" in the area.
The Stadscentrum is dominated by young adults: 45% are aged 25-45 and 37% are 15-25. Most households are single-person (60%). Only 5% of households have children. So the area appeals mainly to students, young professionals and couples without kids.
