Homes for sale in Markt, Arnhem

House prices and market figures Markt, Arnhem

The Markt neighbourhood lies in the heart of Arnhem's Centrum and is predominantly a rental area: only 24% of the 921 homes are owner-occupied, while 76% are rented out (67% of which by private and other landlords). This limited supply of homes for sale makes the market quite competitive. The average WOZ value is €297,000, slightly higher than the district average of €273,000 but lower than the Arnhem average of €323,000. Looking at actual sale prices over the past year, the picture is different: the average purchase price was €373,800, with a range from €225,000 to €675,000. With an average floor area of 73 m², that works out to around €5,120 per square metre. That is steep by Arnhem standards, but fits with the central location. The supply mainly consists of apartments, from compact studios to more spacious upper-floor homes. The overview at the top of this page shows the current listings and asking prices.

Living in Markt: the beating heart of Arnhem

The Markt neighbourhood is exactly what its name suggests: the area around the Markt, Koningsplein and the famous 7 Straatjes. This is Arnhem's commercial and cultural centre, with a mix of hospitality, shops, culture and residential properties. It is not a quiet residential area, and you have to want that. Here you live right in the city centre, with the Eusebiuskerk around the corner, the terraces within walking distance and the sound of the city as a constant backdrop.

The homes vary in construction period. You will find pre-war buildings above shops on Koningstraat and Roggestraat, but also post-war apartment complexes and newer developments around Eiland (the area between Rijnkade and Nieuwe Kade). Almost everything is an apartment. Single-family homes are rare here. The average floor area of 73 m² says a lot: do not expect large gardens or spacious family homes.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores a 9.5 from residents, and rightly so. Supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo are within walking distance. The Modekwartier shops, restaurants along the Rijnkade, Pathé cinema and Musis Sacrum are all reachable within a few minutes. For daily groceries, a night out or culture, you do not need to leave the neighbourhood. Schools in the immediate vicinity are fewer (education scores a 5.5), but primary schools such as De Uilenburcht in the adjacent Janssingel are easily accessible.

Accessibility scores a 7.0. Arnhem Centraal station is about a ten-minute walk via Stationsplein, with direct trains to Utrecht (30 min), Nijmegen (15 min) and beyond. Several bus lines stop at Willemsplein and Centraal Station. By car, you can quickly reach the A325 towards the A12 and A50 via the Nelson Mandelabrug, although parking in the centre is a known pain point: resident permits are limited and expensive.

Resident JS, who has lived on Eiland since 2003, wrote: "I have lived on Eiland since 2003 and have seen it grow to what it is now. Very proud to see your neighbourhood grow like that and maintain good contacts with entrepreneurs and residents." That pride in the area's development is reflected in the safety score of 9.5, which is remarkably high for a city centre neighbourhood. At the same time, the sense of community scores a lower 5.5, which fits a neighbourhood with many single-person households (735 of the households) and a high turnover of tenants.

Compared to adjacent neighbourhoods such as Rijnstraat and Weverstraat, Markt is the most urban and busiest. If you are looking for a bit more peace but still central, those neighbourhoods are worth considering.

Who is a home for sale in Markt interesting for?

With 51% highly educated, a dominant age group of 25 to 45 years and predominantly single-person households, this is par excellence a neighbourhood for starters and young professionals who want to live in an urban setting. Buying an apartment in Markt means: short lines to work, hospitality and culture. The average income of €33,500 is below the Arnhem average of €35,600, which fits the profile of younger singles. Families with children will find it harder to manage here due to limited space, little greenery in the immediate vicinity and the lack of schools in the neighbourhood itself. Be aware that the supply of homes for sale is small (24% owner-occupied) and that you need to act quickly. If you need more flexibility, also check the rental properties in Markt as an alternative.
