Rijnstraat, Arnhem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Varkensstraat sits right in the thick of Arnhem's city centre, with the buzz of shops and cafés just outside the door. At 57 m² it's compact, and the G energy label means heating costs will be significant. The asking price of €285,000 is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €392,915, which is keen given the smaller floor area, but the low energy rating and historic building (1860) are factors to weigh. For context, apartments in Arnhem vary widely in price and condition.
The Rijnstraat area is a dense, urban pocket of Arnhem's centre with a very high address density (3,798 addresses per km²). It's a young area: over half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person (785 out of 1,070). Families with children are few (40 households). The housing stock is almost entirely flats (97%), and most homes were built before 1945 (71%). Sold apartments here went for a median of €299,900 recently, taking about 52 days to sell. This is the Rijnstraat neighbourhood in a nutshell: central, lively, and popular with young professionals.
Daily errands are easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and SPAR is a couple of streets away. For a quick bite, AH to go is 324 m. Schools within walking distance include Montessorischool De Binnenstad and Jenaplan basisschool de Sterrenkring. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city's parks and library are also within a few minutes' walk. Everything you need for day-to-day life is on your doorstep, which is typical for the municipality of Arnhem.

About Varkensstraat 48, Arnhem
The asking price is 27% below the average asking price in the Rijnstraat neighbourhood (€392,915) and close to the median sold price of €299,900. However, the apartment is smaller than average (57 m² vs 89 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. So the price is keen relative to the neighbourhood, but the size and energy efficiency are below par.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have label D or lower, so this is on the less efficient end. You'll want to budget for significant energy bills.
The Rijnstraat area is very popular with young professionals: over half the residents are aged 25,45, and most households are single-person. It's a dense, urban area with a lively centre feel. Shops, restaurants and nightlife are all within walking distance.
Arnhem train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a very high address density, so bus stops are also within easy reach.
The floor area is 57 m², but without a room count it's not possible to say how the space is divided.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given the central location and the fact that it's an apartment in a historic building, outdoor space is unlikely but not confirmed.
This is something the agent would need to provide.
