Geitenkamp, Arnhem
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Sperwerstraat sits in the Geitenkamp neighbourhood of Arnhem, a classic working-class area built in the 1930s. With 72 m² of living space and a 149 m² plot, it offers a compact but solid home with a C energy label. At €325,000, the asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €318,000, reflecting its corner position and larger plot. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Arnhem typically command a premium.
Geitenkamp is an old-fashioned, cosy working-class neighbourhood with nice little shops and restaurants, as one resident puts it. Another resident describes it as a workers' district, noting that houses are not insulated and have mould, and that the housing association is deaf and pretends nothing is wrong. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.07 out of 10. The area is fairly urban, with 1,681 addresses per km², and is home to many singles and smaller households. Geitenkamp has a strong sense of community, though the housing stock is almost entirely pre-war.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner. Another Coop is a couple of streets away, and a Jumbo is a ten-minute walk. For school runs, De Witte Vlinder primary school is a five-minute walk, and the Julianaschool is a bit further. Secondary school Beekdal Lyceum is also within walking distance. The municipality Arnhem provides good local amenities, with a GP and a restaurant both just around the corner.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Bults Makelaardij and also appears on Pararius, so it's available through several channels.

About Sperwerstraat 72, Arnhem
The asking price of €325,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €318,000 and the median of €300,000. However, it's a corner house with a larger-than-average plot (149 m² vs. 74 m² average), which justifies the premium. Recently sold homes in Geitenkamp went for an average of €307,967, so the price is in line with the market for a property of this type.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war house. It means the property has basic insulation but is not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like double glazing or cavity wall insulation could bring it up to a B or A.
Geitenkamp has a mix of households: about 580 with children and 430 without, plus many singles. The area has several primary schools within walking distance, like De Witte Vlinder (733 m) and Julianaschool (1 km). However, some residents report issues with mould and insulation in older homes, so it's worth checking the property's condition.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. For cycling, Arnhem city centre is easily reachable.
Currently, there are only 5 homes for sale in Geitenkamp, with prices ranging from €295,000 to €375,000. This low supply means options are limited, and corner houses like this one are rare. The average time on market for sold homes was 37 days, indicating steady demand.
