A classic apartment in the heart of Burgemeesterswijk
This apartment on Van Eckstraat 68 sits in the Burgemeesterswijk, a stately pre-war neighbourhood in Arnhem where the streets are lined with mature trees and the architecture has real character. The home was built in 1953, so it carries the solid, no-nonsense bones of that era. This listing does not state the energy label, so you will not find that information here. The asking price of €435,000 is 35% below the average asking price of €666,962 for homes in this neighbourhood, which puts it on the keen side of the market. For context, that average is based on the 26 homes currently for sale here, and it is a figure that reflects the whole neighbourhood, not just this apartment. If you are looking at apartments in Arnhem, this one stands out for its price relative to the local market.
The home itself
The apartment has a living area of 81 m² according to the BAG registration, and the agent lists the price per square metre at €5,370 based on that figure. The layout is not described in the listing, so the number of rooms and bedrooms is not stated. The year of construction, 1953, is a fact about the building's age, and nothing more should be read into it. The energy label is not mentioned, which means you will need to look elsewhere for that detail. What is clear is that this is a compact apartment in a classic Arnhem building, and the price reflects the location more than the size.
The Burgemeesterswijk neighbourhood
Burgemeesterswijk is one of Arnhem's most established residential areas, and the data shows a mix of ages and household types. Of the 2,915 residents, a quarter are 65 or older, while another quarter are between 25 and 45, so there is a genuine cross-section of people. The housing stock is predominantly pre-war, with 72.4% of homes built before 1945, which gives the streets their distinctive look. Residents across the municipality of Arnhem give their living environment an average score of 7.62, based on 75 reviews. One resident says: "Centraal maar toch rustig gelegen mooie groene straat in Arnhem. Nooit druk maar er is wel wat reuring." Another adds: "Het is prettig wonen. Veel jonge mensen en een gemoedelijke sfeer tussen de buurtbewoners." These are municipal-level impressions, so they describe Arnhem as a whole rather than this specific street. For a closer look at what the Burgemeesterswijk neighbourhood offers, the figures here give a sense of its character.

The foundation risk indication is medium, which is an area-level indication based on the fact that the building dates from before 1970 and the soil type is sand.
