Buying a house in Heumen: the housing market in 2026
Heumen is a compact municipality in Gelderland, wedged between Nijmegen and the Maas-Waalkanaal. The municipality has around 16,800 residents, spread across the villages of Heumen, Overasselt, Nederasselt and Malden. The latter village is by far the largest. Buying a home here means choosing peace and greenery within cycling distance of Nijmegen's amenities. The A73 and Malden station provide excellent connections to Nijmegen, Den Bosch and beyond. Major employers in the region, such as Radboudumc and Radboud University, are a 15-minute bike ride away.
The housing market in Heumen is strong. Of the more than 7,300 homes, 72% are owner-occupied, which is higher than the national average. The average WOZ value is €396,000, but actual transaction prices are significantly higher: in the past twelve months, 94 homes changed hands for an average purchase price of €622,059. The range runs from around €325,000 to €2,600,000, showing how diverse the supply is. With an average floor area of 177 m², you get considerably more space here than in Nijmegen itself. Supply is limited and moves quickly, so check the current overview at the top of this page for the latest situation. On Buurtje.nl, you can combine that housing supply from more than 1,500 sources with neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you choose not just a house but also the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Heumen
The municipality of Heumen is small but varied. Each village has its own character, from rural Overasselt to the busier Malden with its shops and restaurants. Below are the main areas for home seekers.
Malden, the beating heart of the municipality
Malden is by far the largest village and has the most amenities: supermarkets, primary schools, sports clubs and its own station. The village mainly attracts families and movers who want space without leaving the city entirely. The housing stock ranges from 1970s neighbourhoods to newer expansions towards the south. Prices here are around or slightly above the municipal average, partly due to the proximity of Nijmegen. View the supply in the Heumen neighbourhood for homes on the edge of Malden and surrounding areas.
Overasselt, village living with space
Overasselt lies west of the Maas-Waalkanaal and feels truly rural. The village has a primary school, a church, a sports hall and an active club life, but for larger shopping trips you drive to Malden or Grave. Many older couples and families who consciously choose peace live here. House prices are generally below the municipal average, making Overasselt interesting for buyers who want more square metres for their budget. Discover the housing supply in Overasselt for current opportunities.
Nederasselt, small and close-knit
Nederasselt is the smallest village in the municipality, located along the Maas. It is a close-knit community where everyone knows each other. Amenities are minimal; you rely on Malden or Grave. But if you are looking for a detached house with a large garden in a quiet environment, you can sometimes find surprising supply here. Prices per square metre are often somewhat lower, although this varies greatly per property.
Heumen (village), quiet and green
The village of Heumen itself, not to be confused with the municipality, lies on the Maas-Waalkanaal and is compact. There is a primary school and a few eateries, but it remains small. The Heumen neighbourhood scores a 7.4 from residents on Buurtje.nl, based on 8 reviews. Notable are the high scores for safety (7.9) and accessibility (7.9). One resident writes: "The location is great, you're in Nijmegen in no time but still live in a village." If you want the full picture, you can view all reviews of Heumen on the municipal page.
In addition to these villages, there are also smaller hamlets and rural areas where homes occasionally come up for sale. These are often detached houses or farmhouses in the higher price segment. Keep a close eye on the supply in the Heumen neighbourhood and Overasselt, because homes here sell quickly.
What to look out for when buying a house in Heumen?
Finding a home to buy in Heumen requires some preparation. Firstly: the differences between the villages are greater than you think. Malden offers convenience and accessibility, but you pay for that too. Overasselt and Nederasselt are cheaper, but you are more dependent on the car. Think carefully about what you need daily.
Secondly: the market is tight. With only 94 transactions in a whole year, supply is limited. Overbidding is common, especially for family homes in Malden. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing, because hesitating here costs you opportunities.
Thirdly: pay attention to accessibility per neighbourhood. Malden station offers a direct train connection to Nijmegen (6 minutes), but from Overasselt or Nederasselt you rely on bus or car. The A73 is easily accessible, but it can be busy towards Nijmegen during rush hour.
Finally: use neighbourhood data to compare areas before you decide. On Buurtje.nl, you can find scores per neighbourhood on safety, greenery, amenities and more. That gives a fairer picture than just a viewing on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Also considering renting? Then view the overview of rental homes in Heumen as an alternative.
What residents say about living in Heumen

It's quite quiet here. We have a small shopping centre but you can find almost everything you need. It's not far from the city and the transport is also optimal for such a small village.

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in Malden Oost my whole life, and have always enjoyed it. You have everything in the neighbourhood, which is perfect.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's far from the larger centre. Always long journeys. No supermarket or anything. But a cosy neighbourhood. Snug, you know many people. Safety is good. It's not too densely populated.
Auto-translated to English by AIToo much buzzing here in a place where children play. Too much litter that also doesn't get cleaned up. Below, rental homes meant for families are too often given to single people. And families living above are left there and aren't offered the downstairs homes as a swap..
