House prices and market figures Hatert, Nijmegen
The owner-occupied market in Hatert is smaller than you would expect based on the size of the neighbourhood. Of the more than 5,000 homes in the neighbourhood, only 29% are owner-occupied, while 61% are owned by housing associations. This makes supply scarce, but the prices paid are remarkable. Over the past twelve months, 41 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €410,927. The range runs from €245,000 to €1,295,000, indicating that both starter homes and larger family homes become available. With an average living area of 106 m², this works out at a price of approximately €3,877 per square metre.
The average WOZ value in Hatert is €265,000. That is significantly lower than the average for the broader district Nijmegen-Zuid (€323,000) and considerably lower than the municipality-wide average in Nijmegen (€362,000). This difference in WOZ value compared to realised sale prices shows that there is active overbidding on the limited owner-occupied housing stock. The dominant housing type is the ground-floor terraced house from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a limited number of corner houses and detached homes.

Living in Hatert, Nijmegen
Hatert is a neighbourhood that is sometimes underestimated from the outside, but which residents themselves describe as surprisingly pleasant. It is not a shiny new-build district nor a trendy urban neighbourhood, but a post-war area that has grown organically with a distinct character of its own. The housing stock largely consists of terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with wider streets and green strips that give the neighbourhood space. It is precisely this greenery that stands out: residents give Hatert a 9.0 for the Green category, the highest sub-score of all.
That is no coincidence. The Hatertse Hei, the extensive heathland and forest area right on the edge of the neighbourhood, is for many residents the reason to stay here. You can walk straight into it from your back garden or cycle there in a few minutes. Miranda, one of the residents, puts it aptly: "Nice neighbourhood, everything at hand, good accessibility. And especially lots of nature and plenty of opportunities for contacts in the neighbourhood." Another resident, Miranda De Ruijter, describes it as a "village feel" with a good church community and nice shops, indicating that for some residents Hatert is also a social anchor point.
For daily shopping you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There is a local shopping centre with a supermarket, and along the Hatertseweg you will find additional amenities. For a larger range of shops, the city centre of Nijmegen is easily accessible. Hatert is conveniently located relative to the A73 and A326 motorways, and via Breng bus lines you can reach Nijmegen city centre in about ten to fifteen minutes. Nijmegen NS railway station is within cycling distance, which suits commuters who rely on the train. Residents rate accessibility at 8.2.
Social cohesion in the neighbourhood is a recurring theme in the reviews. Stanley Tahalele writes: "Residents are very sociable among themselves," and Mientje merceij adds that they "get along well with the whole neighbourhood." The community score of 8.5 confirms this picture. Safety scores slightly lower at 7.8, which fits a mixed urban neighbourhood with a relatively low average income of €27,200. That is well below the municipality-wide average of €35,100. The labour participation rate of 52% is also lower than average, partly due to the large number of single-person households and the presence of social housing.
Anyone considering Hatert would do well to also explore the nearby neighbourhoods. Hatertse Hei borders the nature reserve of the same name and has a quieter character. Brakkenstein is greener and has a higher WOZ value, while Grootstal has a more new-build-oriented profile. Together they form the owner-occupied housing supply within the Nijmegen-Zuid district. More neighbourhood data, maps and all resident reviews can be found on the page for Hatert.
Who is a home in Hatert interesting for?
Hatert primarily appeals to first-time buyers and young families who want to buy in Nijmegen but cannot or do not want to pay the prices of Nijmegen-Oost or the city centre. The entry price of €245,000 is low by Nijmegen standards, although you should expect overbidding on popular properties. Families benefit from the proximity of primary schools, the greenery and the social neighbourhood atmosphere. Seniors who value a quiet living environment with good amenities within walking distance will also find what they are looking for here.
An honest disadvantage: the supply of owner-occupied homes is limited due to the large share of social housing. You need patience and the ability to act quickly. Those who want more choice or more flexibility could also look at rental homes in Hatert as a temporary alternative.
