Locals Ask
Why is the average rent so high compared to the rest of Nijmegen?
The supply is tiny and the demand for renovated monuments near the river drives the m² stats to levels usually seen in Amsterdam.
What is the parking situation like in Benedenstad?
It is a nightmare; permit waitlists are long, and you will likely end up paying for a spot in the expensive P0 or P1 garages.
Are these old buildings energy efficient?
Usually not; unless you find a new-build on the Waalkade, be prepared for high heating bills and drafty windows.
Is it too noisy for a quiet life?
Yes, between the bridge traffic and the crowds on the quay, it is rarely silent here.
How is the investment outlook for the long term?
It is bulletproof because they aren't building any more historic centers, making it a safe but expensive bet.
