House prices and market figures for Malvert, Nijmegen
Malvert is a buyer's market that is more affordable than the Nijmegen average, but that doesn't mean you'll get a bargain here. Of the more than 1,240 homes in the neighbourhood, only 37% are owner-occupied. The rest are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by housing associations. This limited supply of owner-occupied homes puts some pressure on the market.
The average WOZ value is €247,000, which is clearly lower than the district average for Dukenburg (€264,000) and well below the Nijmegen average of €362,000. However, actual transaction prices are higher: over the past twelve months, 22 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €333,455. The range ran from €275,000 to €419,000, with an average living area of 105 m². That works out at approximately €3,176 per square metre. The housing stock consists mainly of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s, with the occasional apartment complex.

Living in Malvert, Nijmegen
Malvert is a quiet, well-organised 1970s neighbourhood in the southwest of Nijmegen, part of the Dukenburg district. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and relatively little through traffic. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for the peace you find once you live there.
The buildings largely date from the period 1965-1980 and consist mainly of terraced houses with gardens, interspersed with porch flats and a few larger apartment complexes. The homes are functional in design, with reasonable plot sizes by Nijmegen standards. Many buyers appreciate the space you get for your money here compared to neighbourhoods closer to the city centre.
In terms of amenities, Malvert is reasonably self-sufficient. Dukenburg Shopping Centre, a bike ride away in the heart of the district, offers a wide range of supermarkets, a pharmacy, a GP practice and various shops for daily groceries. Within Malvert itself, there are primary schools, making the neighbourhood attractive for families with young children. There are several playgrounds and green strips scattered throughout the neighbourhood, and the nearby Meijhorst Park offers space for recreation.
Accessibility is one of Malvert's stronger points. Via the Graafseweg and the junction with the A73, you are quickly on the motorway towards Venlo or back north. Breng bus lines connect Malvert to Nijmegen station, from where you can reach Arnhem in about twenty minutes. By bike, Nijmegen city centre can be reached in just under a quarter of an hour via the main cycle paths that connect Dukenburg with the city centre.
Residents often describe Malvert as a neighbourhood where you can live quietly without feeling far from everything. On the neighbourhood main page of Malvert you can read all the reviews and neighbourhood data. One resident writes: "It's green and quiet here, the neighbours know each other and the children can play outside. Not spectacular, but just nice to live in." Critical notes are more often about the outdated appearance of some flats and limited parking options at busy times.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Zwanenveld and Meijhorst, Malvert has a slightly quieter profile with fewer shops within walking distance, but also less nuisance. Tolhuis and Weezenhof are alternatives if you are looking for a bit more urban vibrancy within the same district.
Who is a home in Malvert suitable for?
Malvert mainly attracts young families and home-movers looking for space on a realistic budget. With an average purchase price of €333,455 and homes around 105 m², it is accessible for starters at the upper end, but you do need sufficient equity. Overbidding is not uncommon in this market, especially on well-maintained terraced houses. The limited supply of owner-occupied homes means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Is buying not feasible now? Then check out the rental properties in Malvert as a temporary alternative, because the rental percentage is high here and something regularly becomes available.
