Burgemeesterswijk, Arnhem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Pels Rijckenstraat brings a touch of early 20th-century character to daily life in Arnhem. With 97 m² of living space, it is compact but well-proportioned, and the price of €399,000 is notably keen compared to the neighbourhood average. For context, the asking price sits about 45% below the Burgemeesterswijk average, partly because the floor area is 35% smaller than the typical home here. If you are looking at apartments in Arnhem, this one stands out for its period feel and accessible price point.
Burgemeesterswijk is a stately, leafy part of Arnhem with a mix of pre-war houses and apartments. The area has a strong urban feel (address density 2,246 per km²) and a diverse population: many single-person households, but also families and older residents. Incomes are above average, and the housing stock is predominantly owner-occupied (61%). The neighbourhood has a high proportion of homes built before 1945 (54%), which gives the streets a cohesive, historic character. No resident reviews are available for this area, so the picture here is based purely on the figures. To get a fuller sense of the location, explore the Burgemeesterswijk neighbourhood.
Your daily routine here is well served by local amenities. For groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner, a Jumbo a couple of streets away, and a SPAR, Lidl and Albert Heijn all within a ten-minute walk. For schools, the Montessori College Arnhem (secondary) is a ten-minute walk, and the Pieter Brueghelschool (primary) is about the same distance. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a GP surgery is a short stroll away.

Details of this home
Insure your home and belongingsGet insuredAbout Pels Rijckenstraat 11-2, Arnhem
The asking price of €399,000 is about 45% below the average asking price in Burgemeesterswijk (€719,457). However, this apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (97 m² vs 150 m²). Given the size and the energy label G, the price is on the keen side compared to other homes in the area, but it reflects the property's specific characteristics.
Energy label G is the least efficient label on the scale. It means you can expect relatively high energy costs for heating and electricity. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and does not necessarily indicate poor insulation or outdated installations, it could be due to the heating system or other factors. It is worth factoring higher utility bills into your budget.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km from the apartment, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This gives you direct access to regional and national rail connections from Arnhem.
The CBS data records 214 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or context, it is hard to judge safety directly. Burgemeesterswijk is generally considered a well-to-do residential area, and the high proportion of owner-occupied homes (61%) often correlates with a stable, low-crime environment.

The nearest primary school is the Pieter Brueghelschool (840 m, about a ten-minute walk). The nearest secondary school is Montessori College Arnhem (756 m, also about a ten-minute walk). Several other schools are within 1 km, including De Opmaat and Jan Ligthartschool.

How residents experience their municipality
Traffic dangerous, people drive too fast and the street is narrow, two speed bumps would not be a luxury and speed control would not be out of place, but I have lived here for 46 years with great pleasure, the neighbourhood is cosy.
Auto-translated to English by AIwhat a shit neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AILook, you have everything in the neighbourhood: schools, city centre, supermarkets, etc. It's a bit less cosy than some other neighbourhoods in Arnhem, but certainly not bad.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice to live
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here since I was a child. It's a very cosy and safe neighbourhood. It's also great for children. A park nearby and many peers.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for over 2 years with pleasure! Nice neighbourhood with a shopping centre nearby. I regularly see people walking around cleaning up litter. Commendable!!
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a green environment where I get a lot of peace, it is a child-friendly neighbourhood and you have all amenities nearby
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I moved here it was a reasonably good neighbourhood! but my sense of safety was gone within a few months! Someone was murdered near my flat and a while ago a firework bomb exploded at a house in the street behind my flat! "Maybe more/often police on the street"?
