Zeegsingel en omgeving, Arnhem
NeighbourhoodThis 1949 terraced house on Bereklauwstraat sits in a quiet residential street in Arnhem's Zeegsingel e.o. neighbourhood.

One resident, who has lived here their whole life, says: "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." They also note that "all the houses are practically falling apart", a comment that reflects the older housing stock. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores a 6.38 out of 10.

I'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.

About Bereklauwstraat 8, Arnhem
At €300,000, this is the cheapest of the seven homes currently for sale in Zeegsingel e.o. and 25% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €398,143. However, the floor area (75 m²) is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 104 m², and the energy label is E, which means higher heating costs. Terraced houses in Arnhem sold recently for an average of €317,324, so the price is in line with recent sales.
The energy label is E. This is below the average for homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, where 37.5% have label A and 12.5% have A+. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher energy bills compared to a better-rated property. The home was built in 1949, which is typical for the area, 25% of homes date from before 1945 and 37.5% from 1945-1970.
