Spijkerbuurt, Arnhem
NeighbourhoodThis 1883 apartment on Emmastraat is a compact piece of Arnhem history. With 45 m² of living space, it's a cosy home for someone who values character over square metres. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient for its age. Priced at €249,500, it sits 41% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €420,537, a keen entry point for flats in Arnhem.
The Spijkerbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a very high address density (4,789 addresses per km²). It's a young area: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and a quarter are under 25. Most households are single-person (1,925 out of 2,520), and only 210 households have children. The vibe is energetic and city-centred. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the statistics alone.
For groceries, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Schools are close too: the Stedelijk Gymnasium Arnhem is a couple of streets away, and Jenaplan basisschool de Sterrenkring is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes easy. A park or garden is within a five-minute walk for a breath of fresh air.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Alpina Zevenaar (Voorheen Heilbron Makelaardij).

About Emmastraat 11-1, Arnhem
The asking price is €249,500, which is 41% below the average asking price in the Spijkerbuurt (€420,537). However, the flat is also 55% smaller than the neighbourhood average (45 m² vs 99 m²). Per square metre, the price is about €5,544, while the neighbourhood average is €4,600/m², so it's slightly above average per m². Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is C. For a flat built in 1883, that's quite good, it means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency. You won't face sky-high energy bills, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. In the Spijkerbuurt, 47.4% of homes have label C, so this is typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach Arnhem's main connections without needing a car.
The closest supermarket is a PLUS at 247 m, just around the corner. An Albert Heijn is 521 m away (a five-minute walk), and another Albert Heijn is at 657 m. So daily shopping is very convenient on foot.
The CBS data records 463 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita comparison it's hard to judge. The area is very urban (address density 4,789/km²), so some level of activity is normal. For specific safety concerns, you'd need to check local crime maps or ask residents.
Several schools are within walking distance: the Stedelijk Gymnasium Arnhem (secondary, 325 m), Jenaplan basisschool de Sterrenkring (primary, 449 m), and Hugo de Grootschool (primary, 521 m). So families with school-age children would find it convenient.
