Bottendaal, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis 1896 apartment on Schoolstraat sits in the heart of Bottendaal, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within Nijmegen. With 83 m² of living space, it's compact but full of character, high ceilings, original details and that old-building charm. The asking price of €395,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €386,741, but that reflects the sought-after street and the fact that apartments here don't come up often. For context, apartments in Nijmegen vary widely in price and size.
Bottendaal is one of Nijmegen's most popular neighbourhoods, and the three residents who reviewed it give it a 7.48 out of 10. One resident describes it as "Student-like" and says: "Everything is within walking or cycling distance. Lots of students and young families, very nice. It's always lively, but not (too) busy. Just a relaxed atmosphere." Another calls it "Cosy" and adds: "A cosy neighbourhood with plenty to do. Close to the centre but not too busy, nice people living there and the terraces are always lively." The area is densely built with mostly pre-war housing, and the streets are lined with trees. It's a place where you know your neighbours and the local shopkeepers. The neighbourhood Bottendaal is home to many singles and young households, with a lively street scene.
For your morning bread, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and there's another PLUS a couple of streets away. School runs are easy: Basisschool de Driemaster is on your doorstep, and the Meander vrijeschool is a five-minute walk. For secondary school, Karel de Grote College is a couple of streets away. The municipality Nijmegen has a strong network of schools and amenities, and the city centre with its restaurants and terraces is a ten-minute walk.

I have a good experience with my neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance. Lots of students and young families, very nice. It's always lively, but not (too) busy. Just a relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes it feels a bit unsafe in the evening, I think that's because of the homeless people who then move out of the city centre. I find that less pleasant.

About Schoolstraat 31, Nijmegen
The asking price of €395,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €386,741 and the median of €375,000. However, apartments in Bottendaal with this character and location are rare. The price per square metre works out at about €4,759, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €4,971. Given the compact size (83 m²) and energy label D, the price is on the high side but reflects the sought-after street.
The energy label is D. In Bottendaal, 26.1% of homes have a label D or lower, while 43.5% have label C. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. You can expect to spend more on gas and electricity, but the exact amount depends on usage and energy prices.
