About Oude Velperweg 4, Arnhem
The asking price of €485,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €473,188 and well above the median of €347,500. However, this apartment is larger (130 m²) than the average (123 m²) and is a pre-war property with character. The price per m² works out to about €3,731, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,983 per m². So while the total price is high, the per-square-metre cost is actually in line with the market.
