Rental homes in Nijmegen

Nijmegen calls itself the oldest city in the Netherlands. It lies on the Waal, close to the German border, and has a relaxed student atmosphere, with green, hilly countryside on its eastern side.

Radboud University and Radboudumc, the university hospital, share the Heyendaal campus, and HAN University of Applied Sciences also has a large site here. As a result, students and healthcare staff make up a big part of the rental market. Nijmegen-Oost and Bottendaal are older districts with characterful houses, popular with students and young families. Across the Waal, Lent has grown a lot with new housing. Further west, Dukenburg and Lindenholt offer more terraced houses and flats.

Arnhem is a short train ride away, and there are trains to 's-Hertogenbosch and beyond. Many people cycle, including across the Waal to the northern part of the city. Rooms are in highest demand at the end of summer, just before the academic year starts. If you need a room, start looking in spring and respond quickly to new listings.
