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 van Goorstraat 43, Nijmegen
The asking price of €275,000 is 29% below the average asking price in Bottendaal (€386,741) and also below the median of €375,000. However, the apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (79 m² vs 134 m²). Given the lower square footage, the price per m² works out at about €3,481, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,971 per m². So it appears priced for its size.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but it is not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect moderate energy bills. In Bottendaal, 43.5% of homes have label C, while 26.1% have a lower label (D or worse), so this home is in the middle of the pack for the neighbourhood.
One resident notes that "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." However, the overall neighbourhood score is 7.48 out of 10, and other reviews highlight a relaxed atmosphere. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 226, but without context per capita, it's hard to compare.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to the rest of Nijmegen and beyond. The neighbourhood is very walkable and cycle-friendly, with most amenities within a short distance.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms. With 79 m² of living space, it is likely a two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent for the exact layout.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that the apartment is in a pre-war building in a dense urban area, it is unlikely to have a private garden. The nearest park or public garden is 0.7 km away.
