Quiet and friendly. Privacy. Help where needed.
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here and had a good experience. I attended a good primary school. There are even several. For example, my brother went to a different primary school because that education was better for him. I live about a 10-minute bike ride from Nijmegen city centre, which is ideal. I am very enthusiastic about Lent and might even return there after my student days, which I will have soon.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very pleasant to live in due to plenty of amenities and the children have enough space to play outdoors.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is clean and tidy. Little nuisance. I don't know my neighbours and there are no neighbourhood parties. I don't mind that. Sometimes there's bickering in the neighbourhood about very small things. That's annoying. Otherwise very positive! There's a forest within walking distance and supermarket and city within cycling distance. Enough schools in Nijmegen. Everything nice and close.
Auto-translated to English by AII am very happy that I have a nice social housing home in this day and age. But the neighbourhood is right next to the N325, which has become many times busier over the past 10 years. No one sticks to the 50 km/h limit and the road surface is poor, so unfortunately there is a lot of noise pollution. The municipality does nothing about it; social housing is at the bottom of the list, I believe. Furthermore, unfortunately a lot of rubbish is thrown onto the street. From the cars that race past, but also because there is no proper facility for residual waste and plastic, which is collected once every 2 weeks and is often put out far too early, so birds and other vermin tear everything open. Nijmegen and Lent have grown enormously in terms of housing facilities. Very nice, because there is a housing shortage, but the extreme differences between social housing policy and enormous luxury villa policy are unfortunately very large, and that does make you feel like a second-class citizen, unfortunately.

About Truus Gelsingstraat 42, Lent
Yes, it's a keen price. The rent is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €1,620 and also below the median of €1,567. For a 90 m² apartment built in 2023 with an A+++ label, that's good value in Lent.
It has an A+++ energy label, the highest possible. That means very low energy costs, the home is well-insulated and likely has a heat pump and solar panels. You won't have to worry about high heating bills.
Lent is quiet and family-friendly. Residents describe it as peaceful, child-friendly, and cosy. It's a bit boring for some, but that's part of the charm. The area has many families and a village atmosphere, yet Nijmegen city centre is just a 10-minute bike ride away.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach Nijmegen Centraal in a few minutes.
Yes, there are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: De Noorderstroom and Kindcentrum De Boomgaard. For secondary education, Citadel College is also close by, just a couple of streets away.
Aldi is just around the corner (389 m), and Jan Linders is about a ten-minute walk (955 m). For more choice, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are a bit further but still within cycling distance.
The neighbourhood is very family-friendly, with many children and good schools nearby. The apartment itself is 90 m², which is spacious for a flat, and the modern build means low maintenance. However, it doesn't have a garden, you'd need to check if there's a balcony or shared outdoor space.
