Neighbourhoods in Nijmegen
- Buying a house in Bottendaal
Bottendaal is the Nijmegen neighbourhood where first-time buyers buy a ground-floor flat, extend the attic when children come along, and then stay after all because they do not want to miss the station, the centre and the neighbours. Whole houses here often go from hand to hand: a neighbour who wants to move up, a friend who has been waiting for years, someone who once put a note through the door.

- Buying a house in the Hunnerberg
The Hunnerberg is the neighbourhood Nijmegen people move to when they have made it and still want to feel the city: on top of the ridge, with a view over the Ooijpolder from the edge. A villa comes free here when a life changes, and then the buyer is often already known: a friend of the family, an agent with a list, someone who once wrote.
Berg en Dalseweg · Sterreschansweg · Hugo de Grootstraat · Museum Kamstraat · postcode 6522
- Buying a house in the Hazenkamp
The Hazenkamp is the Nijmegen neighbourhood families move to as soon as Bottendaal gets too cramped, and where they stay until the children have left home. As a result little comes up for sale, and what does has often already gone round the street: at the school, at the sports club, with the neighbour who wants to move up. By the time it is on Funda, the neighbours have often already had a look on behalf of someone they know.
