The population is diverse in age, with a good share of students and older residents. One resident sums it up: "My neighbourhood is nice. There are kind people around you and you have people from young to old." Another notes the convenience: "There are shops nearby that I can quickly get to as a student, and homes that aren't too expensive."

For daily errands, you've got a Coop just around the corner, a PLUS a couple of streets away, and an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk off. Schools are close too: Basisschool de Klokkenberg is a five-minute walk, and the Canisius College secondary school is just a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the Waal beach is within easy reach for a weekend stroll. The municipality Nijmegen keeps the area well-served.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a nasty woman who would interrupt you easily because she is obsessive and wants everything to be in accordance with her interests and favourite.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a while now and it's a nice neighbourhood. It's a cosy part of Nijmegen with a section that has several supermarkets. Only amenities like Lidl or an optician would be nice if they were a bit closer. I also notice, when it comes to housing, that it's incredibly difficult to get another home. I'm a qualified nurse and am starting a master's in September and am looking for an apartment with my best friend; unfortunately, this is very difficult and we've been searching for a long time. Furthermore, it's nice that there are several buses here, you're close to the Waal beach and schools. In short, it's a very nice neighbourhood to live in, and I hope I can continue living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are never any unpleasant situations here and it's a friendly neighbourhood where everyone greets each other. Plenty of parking spaces and cats can also walk around peacefully.

About Broerweg 78, Nijmegen
The asking price of €425,000 matches the median sale price in Hengstdal exactly. Given that the house is 29% larger than the average home in the neighbourhood (112 m² vs 87 m²), the price per square metre is actually lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,553. So it's priced in line with the market, not overvalued.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The house was built in 1936 and hasn't been upgraded to modern standards. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a well-insulated home. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's something to factor into your budget.
Hengstdal has a mix of households: about 20% are families with children, while a large share are singles (around 60%). There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Basisschool de Klokkenberg and Jenaplanschool de Sterredans. Residents mention it's a cosy, convenient area with shops and parks nearby, though one noted that finding a larger home can be challenging.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. Several bus lines serve the area, as residents note. The station connects to Nijmegen city centre and beyond. For daily travel, the bus stops within the neighbourhood are convenient.
The plot is 85 m², which typically includes a small garden. However, the listing does not specify the garden layout or orientation. Given the house is a terraced property, you can expect a back garden, but for exact details you'd need to view the property.
One resident mentioned a difficult neighbour, describing 'a nasty woman who would interrupt you easily because she is obsessive.' Another noted that amenities like a Lidl or optician are a bit far. Overall, the neighbourhood scores 7 out of 10 from four reviews, with most feedback positive about the community and convenience.
