Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a nasty woman who would interrupt you easily because she is obsessive and wants everything to be in accordance with her interests and favourite.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a while now and it's a nice neighbourhood. It's a cosy part of Nijmegen with a section that has several supermarkets. Only amenities like Lidl or an optician would be nice if they were a bit closer. I also notice, when it comes to housing, that it's incredibly difficult to get another home. I'm a qualified nurse and am starting a master's in September and am looking for an apartment with my best friend; unfortunately, this is very difficult and we've been searching for a long time. Furthermore, it's nice that there are several buses here, you're close to the Waal beach and schools. In short, it's a very nice neighbourhood to live in, and I hope I can continue living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are never any unpleasant situations here and it's a friendly neighbourhood where everyone greets each other. Plenty of parking spaces and cats can also walk around peacefully.

About Lorkenstraat 44, Nijmegen
The asking price of €430,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €425,000 and the average of €423,140. Given that the apartment is 119 m², which is 37% larger than the average 87 m² in Hengstdal, the price per m² works out lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,553. So it's priced competitively for its size.
The energy label is C. That means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it's not as efficient as modern A or B labels. You can expect moderate energy costs, though not as low as a highly efficient home. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label A, 12.5% label B, and 18.8% label C, so this is around the middle of the pack.
Very convenient. Coop is just around the corner (138 m), PLUS is a five-minute walk (523 m), and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk (755 m). There are also several other supermarkets within a couple of kilometres. For daily errands, you won't need to go far.

The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That gives you direct connections to the rest of Nijmegen and beyond.
