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 Vondelstraat 63, Nijmegen
The asking price is 28% above the average asking price in Bottendaal (€386,741), but this apartment is also larger than many in the neighbourhood. The average price per m² in the area is €4,971, so for 134 m² that would come to roughly €666,000, but that's an average across all types. Given the size and location, the price is on the high side, but not out of line for a spacious pre-war apartment in a popular street.
Energy label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient. In Bottendaal, 26.1% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a 1903 building. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the thick walls typical of this era often keep the house cool in summer.
Residents generally feel safe, though one review mentions that it can feel 'a bit unsafe in the evening' due to homeless people moving out of the city centre. Overall, the neighbourhood scores 7.48 out of 10, and most describe it as 'cosy' and 'lively but not too busy'.
