Stadscentrum, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Stikke Hezelstraat puts you right in the thick of Nijmegen's historic centre. With 56 m² of living space, it's a compact home for someone who wants everything on their doorstep. The asking price of €325,000 is 36% below the neighbourhood average of €511,436, which is keen for the area, partly because the floor area is 28% smaller than the typical 78 m² in Stadscentrum. For context, apartments in Nijmegen vary widely in price and size.
Stadscentrum is the bustling heart of Nijmegen, with nearly 10,000 residents packed into a very urban setting.

Close to everything you need,' but notes issues with rubbish and homeless people. Another calls it 'Lively' and appreciates the amenities, though mentions mice and bike vandalism. A third simply says 'Good' but adds 'A lot of trouble from certain people.' Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.07 out of 10. For more detail, see the Stadscentrum neighbourhood.

Schools are close too, Basisschool Petrus Canisius is on your doorstep, and Stedelijk Gymnasium Nijmegen is a five-minute walk.

The asking price of €325,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Stadscentrum (€511,436), but the apartment is also 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 78 m². The median asking price in the area is €350,000, so this home is priced below that. Given its compact size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a 56 m² apartment in the city centre.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1956. In Stadscentrum, about 20.6% of homes have label C, while 27.9% have label A and 22.1% have A+. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not as economical as modern builds. You can expect moderate heating costs.
Residents report mixed experiences. One says 'You do see police and enforcement quite often,' but also mentions nuisance from homeless people begging, especially around Molenpoort. Another had a bike vandalised. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 3,233, which is high for a city centre. Noise is typical for a lively area, one resident notes that cycling can be tricky because pedestrians walk on the street.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's nice to live in the centre. Close to everything you need. Only often rubbish on the ground. Otherwise, it's all well organised with how the rubbish is collected and such. Could do more about the homeless people, who are quite numerous, sometimes causing a bit of nuisance because they are always begging in the centre. Especially around Molenpoort it's bad. Could do with more intervention as far as I'm concerned. Not nice if you can't walk without being asked for change. You do see police and enforcement quite often in the neighbourhood, but it could be a bit more. Education is not really in the neighbourhood. It's very accessible by public transport, cycling is sometimes a bit difficult since everyone walks on the street in the centre, also outside pedestrian areas (Molenstraat and Zierikstraat). A minor irritation sometimes.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a student house with 8 nice housemates, a reasonably decent house but plagued by mice. Albert Heijn around the corner. But many homeless people there. Also, my bike was vandalised once. Otherwise, plenty of amenities and nice but small parks.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is nice. There are kind people around you and you have people from young to old. There are shops nearby that I can quickly get to as a student, and homes that aren't too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for 25 years with great pleasure, but in recent years it has become very different. Previously, everyone knew each other and greeted each other. For the elderly, the front path was cleared when it snowed, errands were done, etc. If I hadn't seen someone for a while, I would go and ask how they were. And now... you hear that people lie dead in their homes for 4 weeks and no one notices. Pff, but luckily I'm not like that and I remain loyal to my neighbourhood and go and check in. But unfortunately, the sense of community is completely gone. Now new people move in and you don't even know their names. Very sad. I wish the old days could come back.
