About Pels Rijckenstraat 11-2, Arnhem
The asking price of €399,000 is 45% below the Burgemeesterswijk average of €719,457. However, the apartment is also 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 150 m². Given its compact size and energy label G, the price is in line with what you would expect for a smaller, older apartment in this area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. The building dates from 1905, so it likely has single glazing and an older heating system. In the neighbourhood, about 32% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
Arnhem central station is 1.6 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride.
There are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk: an AH to go at 360 m, Jumbo at 390 m, SPAR at 420 m, Lidl at 456 m, and Albert Heijn at 508 m. For daily groceries you are well covered.
Yes, several primary and secondary schools are within walking distance. The nearest primary is Pieter Brueghelschool at 840 m, and Montessori College Arnhem (secondary) is at 756 m. Both are about a ten-minute walk.
The floor area is 97 m², which typically accommodates two to three rooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given that it is an apartment in a 1905 building, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space, but this is not confirmed.
