Stadscentrum, Nijmegen
NeighbourhoodThis rental townhouse on van der Brugghenstraat sits right in the lively Stadscentrum. With 327 m² of living space, it's a rare find, most homes in the neighbourhood are much smaller. The rent of €1,100 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €1,674, so it's keenly priced for its size. For context, other terraced houses in Nijmegen tend to be smaller and more expensive per square metre.
Residents give the neighbourhood Stadscentrum a mixed score of 6.07 out of 10, based on four reviews. One resident says: "It's nice to live in the centre. Close to everything you need. Only often rubbish on the ground." Another notes: "A lot of trouble from certain people." The neighbourhood is densely populated, with many young adults and single-person households. You'll find a high concentration of shops, restaurants and bars, but also a fair amount of street nuisance, homeless people and occasional begging are mentioned. Policing is visible, but some residents feel more intervention is needed.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and PLUS are a couple of streets away. Schools are within walking distance: Foooocus Nijmegen (secondary special education) is a couple of streets away, and Karel de Grote College is a five-minute walk. The municipality Nijmegen offers a compact urban environment where most amenities are close by, a park or garden is a couple of streets away, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.

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 van der Brugghenstraat 3, Nijmegen
Yes, it's keenly priced. The average rent in Stadscentrum is €1,674, and this home is 34% below that. Given the large floor area of 327 m², you're getting a lot of space for your money. The cheapest rental in the neighbourhood is €1,043, so this sits comfortably above that but well under the median of €1,623.
Stadscentrum is the bustling heart of Nijmegen, with a very high density of shops, restaurants and amenities. It's popular with students and young professionals, over a third of residents are aged 15-25. The atmosphere is lively but can be gritty: residents mention rubbish on the streets and nuisance from homeless people. On the plus side, everything you need is within walking distance.
Nijmegen train station is about 1 km away, a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very walkable, and public transport is well connected. Cycling in the centre can be tricky because pedestrians often walk on the street, even outside pedestrian areas.
Energy label D means the home is moderately efficient. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not as low as a modern home. The house was built in 1887, so it likely has original features that affect insulation. It's worth budgeting for heating in winter.
Yes, several. Albert Heijn is just around the corner (242 m), Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away (289 m), and PLUS is a five-minute walk (426 m). For daily shopping, you're well covered.
With 327 m² over multiple floors, there's plenty of space. However, the neighbourhood has few families, only 210 households with children out of 7,660. Schools are within walking distance, but the area is more geared towards students and singles. The house itself is a townhouse, so it has multiple levels.
The neighbourhood has a high number of recorded crimes (3,233 total), which reflects its dense urban nature. Residents report visible police presence but also mention issues with homeless people and begging. One resident said their bike was vandalised. It's a typical city centre, lively but with some downsides.
