Stadscentrum, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis 1923 townhouse on Staringstraat is a proper city home, with 229 m² of living space spread over several floors. It's a rare find in the Stadscentrum, where most homes are apartments.

It's nice to live in the centre. Close to everything you need. Only often rubbish on the ground. Otherwise, it's all well organised with how the rubbish is collected and such. Could do more about the homeless people, who are quite numerous, sometimes causing a bit of nuisance because they are always begging in the centre. Especially around Molenpoort it's bad. Could do with more intervention as far as I'm concerned. Not nice if you can't walk without being asked for change. You do see police and enforcement quite often in the neighbourhood, but it could be a bit more. Education is not really in the neighbourhood. It's very accessible by public transport, cycling is sometimes a bit difficult since everyone walks on the street in the centre, also outside pedestrian areas (Molenstraat and Zierikstraat). A minor irritation sometimes.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a student house with 8 nice housemates, a reasonably decent house but plagued by mice. Albert Heijn around the corner. But many homeless people there. Also, my bike was vandalised once. Otherwise, plenty of amenities and nice but small parks.

About Staringstraat 25, Nijmegen
The asking price is 43% above the average asking price in Stadscentrum (€520,219), but this home is also 186% larger than the neighbourhood average of 80 m². So you're paying a premium for space, not just location. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres in a central spot.
The energy label is D. In Stadscentrum, most homes for sale have a better label (over 60% are A or B), so this one is less efficient. You can expect higher energy costs compared to a more modern home, but no specific amounts are available from the listing.
Residents mention issues with homeless people and begging, especially around Molenpoort. One review says: "Could do more about the homeless people, who are quite numerous, sometimes causing a bit of nuisance." Another mentions a bike being vandalised. Police and enforcement are seen often, but some feel it could be more.
The train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is described as very accessible by public transport.
The plot is 167 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. The description only states the property type and size, so it's not clear if there is outdoor space.
With 229 m² of living space, there is plenty of room, but the exact layout is unknown.
