Living in Markt, Arnhem
Markt is the neighbourhood around the historic city centre of Arnhem, with Korenmarktplein and the adjacent streets as its beating heart. This is not a residential neighbourhood in the traditional sense: there are no quiet villa lanes or playgrounds on every corner. It is an urban, compact environment where living and the hustle and bustle of the city centre go hand in hand. The housing stock mainly consists of apartments, often in buildings from the post-war reconstruction period, but also in older townhouses and newer urban projects. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Markt should realise that this is about living right in the middle of the action, with all the advantages and disadvantages that entails.
Facilities in Markt
The score for facilities is 9.5, the highest sub-score awarded by residents, and that is understandable. Supermarkets, shops, restaurants and services are literally within walking distance. Arnhem city centre offers a complete shopping centre with major chains along Ketelstraat and Vijzelstraat. For daily groceries, you can go to several supermarkets within a short distance. In terms of education, the neighbourhood scores lower (5.5): primary and secondary schools are limited in the immediate vicinity, which is related to the urban and less family-oriented character of the neighbourhood. For sports and recreation, Sonsbeek Park is within cycling distance, and the Rhine is a few minutes' walk away. The green score of 8.0 is remarkably high for a city centre neighbourhood, indicating that residents appreciate the proximity of parks and riverbanks, even though green space within the neighbourhood itself is scarce.
Accessibility
Accessibility scores a 7.0. Arnhem Central Station is within walking distance, providing excellent connections to the rest of the Netherlands. Intercity trains run directly to Utrecht (approximately 35 minutes), Nijmegen and beyond. Several bus lines depart from the station area. By car, you can quickly leave the city via the A12 and A50 towards Utrecht or Nijmegen. Parking in and around Markt is paid or permit-based, which is a point of attention for motorists. For cyclists, the city centre is easily accessible, although the busy traffic in the centre requires caution.
Residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 7.3 based on available reviews. Long-term resident JS, who has lived on Eiland since 2003, describes it as follows: "I have seen it grow to where it is now. Very proud to see your neighbourhood grow like this and maintain good contacts with entrepreneurs and residents." That involvement with local entrepreneurs is characteristic of the atmosphere in Markt, although the community spirit sub-score is relatively low at 5.5. This is not unusual for a city centre neighbourhood with many single-person households (735 of approximately 921 homes) and a high turnover. Safety scores remarkably high at 9.5. More resident reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the Markt neighbourhood page.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods, Markt has a pronounced city centre character. In Janssingel and around Utrechtsestraat you will find a slightly quieter living environment with more greenery and a different housing mix. Spijkerkwartier, just outside the centre, has its own character with more of a neighbourhood feel and is considered by many renters as an alternative when they want slightly less urban hustle but still want to live close to the centre.
Is renting in Markt right for you?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts people between 25 and 45 years old (the largest age group), single-person households and people with higher education (51%). Students and young professionals generally feel at home here, thanks in part to the proximity of the station and the vibrancy of the city centre. Families with young children will find the limited school choice and the busy character of the neighbourhood less attractive. Seniors seeking peace and quiet are also less suited to it.
Practical: the supply of rental properties in Markt in the free sector is limited (44 rented out in the past year), which means properties go quickly. Respond quickly to available rental properties and ensure your documents are in order. For social housing, you can register with housing associations active in Arnhem, but waiting lists are long and the housing association share in Markt is small (9%). If you are considering taking the step to ownership, you can also view the supply of owner-occupied homes in Markt.
