A classic apartment on a leafy street
This 1926 apartment on Ruisdaelstraat sits in the heart of Nijmegen-Oost, where the streets are lined with tall trees and pre-war architecture.

The last known asking price of €545,000 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €504,625, but it reflected the size and character. For context, apartments in Nijmegen sell for a median of €435,000. This home has not been online since 5 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Ruisdaelstraat 38, Nijmegen
Was €545,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €545,000 was above the neighbourhood average of €504,625 and the median of €435,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (119 m² vs 115 m²) and in a sought-after pre-war area. Recently sold homes in Altrade went for an average of €539,484, so the price was in line with what buyers had been paying.
What is the energy label D like in practice?
Energy label D means the home is not particularly efficient. You can expect higher gas bills compared to a modern home. In Altrade, 52% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's common for the area. The apartment was built in 1926, so original features like high ceilings and thick walls may help, but insulation is likely limited.
