Stadscentrum, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Molenstraat 49A puts you right in the thick of things. Built in 2005 and with an A+ energy label, it's a modern, efficient home in a historic setting. At 59 m² it's compact, but the price of €329,000 is 37% below the neighbourhood average of €520,219, a keen entry point for a city-centre property. For context, apartments in Nijmegen vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of age and location.
Stadscentrum is lively and dense, with over 9,900 residents packed into a very urban area (address density 4,177 per km²). Most households are single-person (6,055), and the population skews young, lots of students and professionals. Reviews reflect the buzz: one resident calls it "City centre" and says "It's nice to live in the centre. Close to everything you need," though they note issues with rubbish and homeless people. Another describes it as "Lively" and mentions a student house, mice, and a bike being vandalised. A third simply says "Good" but adds "A lot of trouble from certain people." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.07 out of 10. It's a trade-off between convenience and occasional nuisance. Learn more about the neighbourhood Stadscentrum.

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.
