A compact home in the heart of Nijmegen
This terraced house on the Eerste Walstraat sits right in the middle of Nijmegen's Stadscentrum, a neighbourhood that is always alive with people and activity. The last known asking price of €235,000 was well below the average asking price for terraced houses in Nijmegen, which made sense given the compact size of the property. The home was built in 1936 and carried an energy label D, so heating costs would be something to factor in. The price per square metre worked out at €5,222 based on the BAG registration, which was a useful reference point when comparing with other homes in the area. This home has not been online since 30 September 2026.
What the listing tells us
The agent's listing for this home was quite brief. It does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms, or bathrooms, nor does it mention any garden, balcony, or garage. The living area according to the BAG registration is 45 square metres, on a plot of 50 square metres. The energy label is D, which is the middle of the road when it comes to efficiency, so expect moderate energy bills. Built in 1936, this is a pre-war home with all the character that comes with that era.
Life in Stadscentrum

Another resident mentions living in a student house with eight housemates, plagued by mice, but appreciates the Albert Heijn around the corner and the plenty of amenities and nice but small parks. Based on four reviews, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.07 out of 10. The area is very accessible by public transport, though cycling can be tricky because everyone walks on the street in the centre.
