Living in Hees, Nijmegen
Hees is located in the west of Nijmegen, as part of the district Nijmegen-Nieuw-West. It is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood that clearly differs in atmosphere from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The buildings largely date from the 1950s and 1960s: here you will mainly find terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a number of detached houses on slightly larger plots. The streets are wide with plenty of greenery in the form of trees along the road, but residents rate the greenery in the neighbourhood itself at 5.0, indicating that it does not excel in parks or play areas.
For daily shopping, you rely on supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, such as the shops along the Nieuwe Dukenburgseweg or in the nearby shopping area of Dukenburg. Schools in and around Hees ensure that families with children do not have to travel far; residents give education a relatively good score of 7.0. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are accessible via the surrounding neighbourhoods such as Heseveld and Neerbosch-Oost, each with their own facilities profile.
Accessibility scores remarkably well: residents give it an 8.0. Hees is conveniently located relative to the A73 and the Graafseweg towards the centre of Nijmegen. By bike, you can reach the centre in about twenty minutes. Bus connections via Nijmegen Central Station are available, although the neighbourhood is not directly located at a train station. By car, you are quickly on the motorway, making Hees attractive for commuters to Arnhem or Den Bosch.
The resident score stands at 6.0 based on three reviews, giving a mixed picture. Facilities score the highest at 8.3 and accessibility at 8.0. Community and greenery score lower, at 5.0 and 5.0 respectively. Resident R. Meister describes the neighbourhood as: "Quiet in winter, noisy in summer." That sums up the atmosphere of Hees well: it is not a lively city district, but not always quiet either. Another resident, Sinta, highlights another issue: finding a home is a nightmare. "We as 20/30 year olds still all live with our parents because there are simply NO homes." That says something about the tightness of the market, also in Hees. Read more resident experiences on the neighbourhood page of Hees with all reviews and neighbourhood data. For comparison: the owner-occupied market in Nijmegen-Nieuw-West as a whole has a lower price level, but Hees attracts buyers specifically looking for more space and a quieter living environment within the district.
Who is a home for sale in Hees suitable for?
Hees mainly appeals to movers and families looking for space: the average sold living area of 147 m² suits households wanting more than an apartment. The high proportion of highly educated people (55%) and an average income of €37,100 fit an owner-occupied market with an average selling price of over €533,000. First-time buyers will struggle in Hees: prices are high and supply is limited, as residents also indicate. If you are flexible, you could consider first looking at rental homes in Hees as an intermediate step. Be honest with yourself: overbidding is realistic in this neighbourhood, especially for well-located single-family homes. A structural survey is not an unnecessary luxury for homes from the 1950s and 1960s.

Auto-translated to English by AIworthless, I've been harassed at my front door for years. there have been years of arguments in my hallway that I couldn't handle, the police and housing association were involved, I was supposed to get help which didn't happen. now I have a new person living next to me who is off his head and has a mess in his house. and harasses me in the middle of the night. he drinks and does things. which is not pleasant. but the housing association doesn't do a damn thing. so now I'm looking for another home, which the housing association was supposed to help me with but now they're leaving me to sort it out myself. to get away, this world is bloody crap
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet in winter, noisy in summer
Auto-translated to English by AII personally have a good experience with my neighbourhood. Nothing to complain about. Yes, here and there some hassle but that's always the case. Getting a house, on the other hand, is a DRAMA. We as 20/30-year-olds still all live with our parents because there simply ARE NO houses. Or the houses are being snatched away for refugees or status holders.. Not fair.
