House prices in Malburgen-Oost (Zuid): more affordable than the Arnhem average, but with a striking range
Malburgen-Oost (Zuid) is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: over 80% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, most of which are owned by housing associations. Only 20% of the approximately 4,315 homes are owner-occupied. This makes supply limited, but prices are relatively accessible compared to the rest of Arnhem. The average WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €231,000, compared to €323,000 city-wide. In the past twelve months, 28 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €307,107, with a range of €200,000 to €649,000 and an average living area of 84 m². This wide spread shows that both entry-level homes and larger family homes can be found in the neighbourhood. The current supply and average asking price can be found at the top of this page.
The housing stock largely consists of terraced houses from the post-war construction period. Apartments are also available, but single-family homes dominate the owner-occupied segment. New construction is scarce, although there is something to see along the waterfront: as one resident noted on the neighbourhood page of Malburgen-Oost (Zuid), the waterside part of the neighbourhood has been "very nicely renovated with new construction, which looks very pleasant". This contrast with the older parts of the neighbourhood is clearly noticeable.
Living in Malburgen-Oost (Zuid): multicultural, affordable, and honest about its shortcomings
Malburgen-Oost (Zuid) scores a 7.0 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. Amenities (7.7), safety (7.5), and accessibility (7.3) score highest. Green spaces, beauty, and housing score lower, around 6.5. This picture matches what residents write. One reviewer describes the neighbourhood as "a multicultural neighbourhood with unfortunately visible more poverty" and thinks more could be done to improve it. Another resident simply calls it "a fine neighbourhood to live in" but misses art, culture, and easily accessible green spaces. At the same time, someone else finds it just "cosy", where everyone knows each other. So the neighbourhood is not one-dimensional.
In terms of amenities, the situation is reasonable. There are primary schools in and around the neighbourhood, and the Immerlopark, which borders the sub-neighbourhoods Immerloo I and Immerloo II, offers space for outdoor activities. Shops for daily groceries are not right around the corner; a car or bicycle is handy. Parking is a recurring point of criticism: too little space, many commercial vans, and double parking. The sub-neighbourhoods Zeegsingel en omgeving and Eimersweide also fall under Malburgen-Oost (Zuid) and each have their own character. More information about neighbourhood policy can be found on the website of the municipality of Arnhem.
Accessibility is a plus. Arnhem Centraal is easily reachable by bus, and the connection to the A325 and A12 makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters. Bus connections to the city centre and other neighbourhoods are available, although frequency varies. Those who want to compare with other affordable neighbourhoods in the city can also look at Presikhaaf-West or Presikhaaf-Oost, which have a similar profile.
For whom is a home purchase in Malburgen-Oost (Zuid) a realistic option?

Decent area to live. Unfortunately, little to no arts and culture and little greenery that is easily accessible to me. Due to reduced mobility, I can't just go to other neighbourhoods to get it there either.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is on their own. You don't know your neighbours. If you greet them, you get an even dirtier look than usual. There is hardly any play space for children or a bit of greenery that is accessible with a walker or pram. Let alone a library or exhibition space. There is nothing here. Only shops and parking spaces.
Auto-translated to English by AIToo little parking space, many parking spots are used for work vehicles, double parking, young people just throw rubbish on the street, noisy youth, people are on their own, but there are many different nationalities. Large park in the neighbourhood, Immerlopark. No shops in the area, car, bike needed to go to the shopping centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a multicultural neighbourhood with unfortunately more visible poverty. Many terraced houses look a bit run-down. I think it could do with some more renovation, more greenery and new construction. The side of the neighbourhood by the water has been very nicely renovated with new buildings, which looks very pleasant. There are many amenities nearby, such as shops and bus stops. The neighbourhood is also super accessible, close to the motorway and the city centre. On the side of the Immerlooplas, there's a nice bit of nature for a walk.
Auto-translated to English by AIit's a neighbourhood in itself, everyone knows each other
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life, so I'd describe it as having nice neighbours and good amenities. But in terms of safety, a few things are lacking, mainly at shopping centre Drieslag. I don't like walking there alone in the dark. Lots of people wandering around with a big mouth—I'm an 18-year-old girl, so of course I don't feel 'safe' with people like that around. 'Enforcement on Sundays is useless since they're there every day.' Oh, and all the houses are practically falling apart—I'd rather buy a house somewhere else and do it up, you'd probably spend less money than renting or buying one here.
