Frequently asked questions
About Sonsbeekweg 40-2, Arnhem
Is €795,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 15% above the average asking price in the Transvaalbuurt, which is €691,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (137 m² vs 149 m² average) and in a classic 1908 building. The price per m² is about €5,803, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,963 per m². Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the period features and location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is common for a building from 1908, as most homes in the neighbourhood (66.7%) have a label D or lower. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing, but the listing does not specify what has already been done.

The nearest train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it easy to reach Arnhem city centre or further destinations.

Experiences from Arnhem
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"?
