Benedenstad, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Nieuwe Markt sits in the oldest part of Nijmegen, where the streets hum with cafés and the Waal is a short stroll away. With 158 m² of living space, it is a good 50% larger than the average home in the neighbourhood. The building dates from 1886, which gives it character but also means the energy label D is worth noting, most other homes for sale in Benedenstad have a better rating. At €575,000, the price is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood median of €375,000, but the size and location explain that. For context, apartments in Nijmegen vary widely in price and size.
Benedenstad is the historic lower town, packed with restaurants, bars and independent shops. It is a very urban area, the address density is over 3,200 per km², and most households are single people (1,235 out of 1,625 homes). Families with children are few, and the average household size is just 1.5. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with a noticeable share of residents aged 25,45 and over 65. Crime figures are relatively high (360 total incidents), but the lively centre attracts many. For a fuller picture, see the Benedenstad neighbourhood.

For school runs, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Petrus Canisius (primary) is similarly close.

About Nieuwe Markt 90, Nijmegen
The asking price of €575,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €375,000 and also above the average sold price of €531,833. However, this apartment is 158 m², which is 50% larger than the neighbourhood average of 105 m². The price per square metre works out at about €3,639, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,340 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have label B (55.6%) or C (27.8%), and none are below D. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs could be higher than in a modern home. The building is from 1886, which explains the older construction. You may want to consider potential improvements, but the listing does not specify any recent upgrades.
The train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to the rest of the country. The central location means many amenities are within easy reach on foot.
A SPAR supermarket is just 290 m away, so daily groceries are a short walk. There is also a Coop at 671 m and a PLUS at 728 m. Restaurants are on your doorstep (0.1 km), and a park or public garden is 0.4 km away. The city centre of Nijmegen is right there, with all its shops, cafés and cultural venues.
Primary school Basisschool Petrus Canisius is 345 m away, and secondary school Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen is 325 m away. Both are within a five-minute walk. There are also several other schools within a kilometre, including Kindcentrum Aquamarijn (primary) at 967 m and Karel de Grote College (secondary) at 1 km.
The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 360, which is relatively high for a residential area. However, Benedenstad is the historic centre with many bars and restaurants, so some of that crime may be related to the night-time economy. It is always a good idea to visit the area at different times of day to get a feel for it.
Most homes in Benedenstad are rented (only 13% are owner-occupied), and the area has many single-person households (1,235 out of 1,625). The population is mixed in age, with a large group aged 25,45 and a significant number over 65. Families with children are rare. This suggests the area appeals to professionals, students and older residents who enjoy city living.
The building was constructed in 1886, making it over 130 years old. The energy label D suggests that insulation and heating systems may be original or not fully modernised. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should assume the home may need some updating. The large floor area of 158 m² offers plenty of scope for customisation.
