How is Arnhem laid out for home buyers?
Arnhem is the capital of Gelderland and sits on the Nederrijn, a branch of the Rhine, with the wooded edge of the Veluwe rising on its northern side. The river splits the housing market in two. North of the water you find the old city centre, the neighbourhoods that grew around it in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and the green villa streets towards the parks of Sonsbeek and Zypendaal. South of the river lies Arnhem-Zuid, a district of later expansion with neighbourhoods such as Malburgen, Elderveld, Rijkerswoerd and Schuytgraaf.
For a buyer from abroad this split matters more than the postcode suggests. In the north you mostly buy older homes with character, often with questions about foundations, insulation and maintenance that an inspection should answer. In the south you are more likely to find family houses with a garden, built to newer standards, where the energy label and the layout tend to weigh more heavily than the age of the building.

Which Arnhem neighbourhoods do international buyers ask about?
The Spijkerkwartier and Klarendal, close to the centre, have long rows of townhouses and upstairs flats from around 1900. The Burgemeesterswijk and Hoogkamp, on the west side, have larger detached and semi-detached houses on leafy streets, and they come up for sale less often. Presikhaaf in the east has a station of its own, which is useful if you do not want to depend on a car.
Schuytgraaf is the Vinex neighbourhood of Arnhem-Zuid, built in stages on the Over-Betuwe side of the city and still growing in its later phases. Station Arnhem Zuid sits on its eastern edge, so you can take the train without crossing the river by car. If you sell here, you compete with new-build in the same area, which means your listing has to explain what your house offers that a new home does not, such as a mature garden or a finished street.
What does Arnhem's location mean for commuting and value?
Arnhem Centraal is a major rail hub with intercity trains towards the west of the country and the ICE to Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, a practical point for people who work across the German border or travel a lot. The HAN University of Applied Sciences and ArtEZ have locations in the city, so there is steady demand for smaller homes near the centre. The RijnWaalpad cycle route links Arnhem with Nijmegen for those who commute by bike.
History shows in the streets too. Much of the centre was damaged during the Battle of Arnhem in 1944 and rebuilt in the decades after, so a house a few streets from a pre-war row may date from the 1950s or 1960s. When we price a home or assess one for you, we look at the actual street and building year rather than the name of the district.
How does buying or selling a home in Arnhem work?
The steps are the same across the Netherlands, though the order surprises many newcomers. A seller first arranges an energy label and lists the home, usually on Funda. Buyers view the house and make offers to the seller's agent, who discusses them with the seller. There is no fixed bidding procedure. Once both sides agree, the deal becomes binding only when the purchase agreement is in writing and signed. A private buyer then has a cooling-off period ("bedenktijd") of at least three days. Some weeks later the civil-law notary ("notaris") passes the deed of transfer, has it registered with the Land Registry (Kadaster) and the keys change hands.
What does 365 Makelaars do for you in Arnhem?
When you sell, we start with a free home valuation at your address. We look at recent sales in your part of the city and at what your house has that comparable homes lack. We then arrange photos and a floor plan, write the listing and put it on Funda. Viewings take place in the evening and at weekends too, and we conduct them ourselves. Our selling fee is 1.5% of the sale price.
When you buy, our buying agent ("aankoopmakelaar") works for you alone. We view the house with you, point out what needs checking, help you decide on an offer and negotiate with the seller's agent. You message your agent directly on WhatsApp. For a mortgage we can introduce you to KFD Woonadvies, which shares our office address in Wijchen.

Questions about real estate agent Arnhem
Do you work in Arnhem even though your office is in Wijchen?
Yes. Arnhem is part of the area we cover, on both the north and the south side of the Rhine. We come to your address for the valuation and the viewings, and you can reach your agent by phone or WhatsApp on any day of the year.
Can I buy a home in Arnhem if I am not Dutch?
Yes. There is no nationality requirement for buying a house in the Netherlands. What you can borrow is a separate question for a mortgage adviser. We can introduce you to KFD Woonadvies, the mortgage adviser at our address, before you start making offers.
Is the purchase agreement available in English?
The purchase agreement and the notarial deed are drawn up in Dutch. We go through the contract with you in English. Ask the notary in advance how they work with a buyer who does not read Dutch, as notaries can arrange an interpreter or explain the deed in English.
Should I look north or south of the Rhine?
That depends on what you want from a home. The north has older houses close to the centre, the parks and the Veluwe. The south has more family homes from recent decades and the Vinex area of Schuytgraaf. We are happy to talk through the trade-offs before you view.
What does a buying agent cost in Arnhem?
You hear the fee for our buying support upfront, in the first conversation, before you commit to anything. The home valuation for sellers is free and has no obligation attached. If you sell through us, the fee is 1.5% of the sale price.
