Biezen, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis Dokstraat apartment feels fresh and efficient, built in 2016 with an A+ energy label. At 77 m² it's compact but well laid out, and the asking price of €485,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average, partly because the flat is smaller than many in the area. For context, apartments in Nijmegen vary widely in size and price, so this one sits at the more accessible end.
Biezen is a lively, mixed part of Nijmegen-Oud-West with a strong urban feel, over 3,100 addresses per km². It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. Reviews are generally positive: one resident calls it "a lovely neighbourhood to live in" and feels very safe. Another describes it as "cosy" with a mixed community, good schools, and various eateries. The neighbourhood Biezen has a real village-within-the-city atmosphere.
Daily errands are easy: a SPAR is just around the corner, and a Coop is a couple of streets away. For school runs, Basisschool Petrus Canisius is a five-minute walk, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen is even closer. The municipality Nijmegen keeps the area well served with parks, a library, and restaurants all within a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hermsen Garantiemakelaars Nijmegen and also appears on Funda through Hermsen Makelaars Nijmegen.

Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a lovely neighbourhood to live in. I feel very safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur Waterkwartier is a cosy neighbourhood. Not far from the centre. It has a mixed community. Various cosy eateries in the area. And of course a good school. The elderly have also been catered for with various residential locations including the Griffioen. All kinds of activities are organised there. And there is also a good neighbourhood restaurant.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhat a top location to live! I've been living here for almost 10 years and I really enjoy it! All amenities and motorways are nearby. It could be a bit greener though, and especially the tunnel at the central station could be safer.
Auto-translated to English by AIHygiene: the waste policy in the neighbourhood causes a lot of vermin. Residual waste and plastic waste are put out on the street in bags. The residual waste in particular stinks. Another problem is that the waste is collected early on Monday morning, making it difficult for students to dispose of waste easily. My house and several other student houses in the area therefore sometimes had the problem that waste piled up significantly because no one was home on Sunday evening to put the waste out. Housing: many buildings have been poorly maintained for years, poorly insulated. From the outside, however, they are beautiful. As far as greenery is concerned, it could always be better in my opinion, but we certainly don't have it bad.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood close to the city centre. Many amenities such as supermarkets, bakeries and drugstores within walking distance. Little nuisance and friendly residents in the neighbourhood. As a woman, I never feel unsafe in the neighbourhood, I have never been catcalled or harassed. I think the area is a pleasant mix of new builds and characterful houses. But I am glad there are plans for a better connection to the city, the tunnel towards the city feels unpleasant in the evening and at night. In addition, hopefully there will be an entrance to the station from our neighbourhood.
