Sold subject to conditionsWhat is Wijchen like as a place to live?
Wijchen is a town on the southern edge of Gelderland, west of Nijmegen and close to the border with North Brabant. The old heart lies around the market square and Kasteel Wijchen, a castle first mentioned in 1392 that now houses council rooms and an archaeological museum. Most of the town around it consists of residential neighbourhoods built from the 1970s onwards, with green space, schools and shops within cycling distance.
For international households who work in Nijmegen, for example at Radboud University or the Radboudumc hospital, Wijchen is a common alternative to living in the city. The town has its own railway station, and the A50, A326 and A73 meet nearby. Homes here are mostly single-family houses, which suits people who want a garden and a place to park.

Neighbourhoods and villages
Municipality of Wijchen. Our office is at Bijsterhuizen in Wijchen.
Which neighbourhoods and villages belong to Wijchen?
Within the town you find areas such as Kerkeveld, Saltshof, Aalsburg, Homberg, Woezik and Huurlingsedam, each with its own mix of terraced houses, semi-detached homes and some apartments. Achterdorp and the centre have older streets close to the shops. Because the neighbourhoods were built in phases, the building year can differ a lot between two streets side by side, and that affects insulation, the energy label and what a buyer should check.
The municipality also covers the villages Alverna, Balgoij, Batenburg, Bergharen, Hernen, Leur and Niftrik in the Land van Maas en Waal. Batenburg is a small old town on the Maas, and these villages attract buyers looking for space and a rural setting. Near Alverna, a former Defence depot was turned into the Boskamers housing area, completed between 2013 and 2019.
What does the location mean for value in Wijchen?
Nature and water play a part in what buyers pay attention to. The Berendonck recreation lake, with a beach, lies on the edge of town, and the villages sit between the Maas and the Waal. Close to the motorways, homes are easy to reach for commuters but can hear more traffic, so we walk round the street with you. Because our office is here, we follow local sales closely, which helps when we set an asking price.
How does a sale in Wijchen go from start to finish?
A sale starts with a valuation and an energy label, which every seller needs before the home is offered. We then list the house on Funda, plan viewings and collect offers. The Dutch system leaves room here: the seller decides whether to accept, reject or make a counter-offer, and in some cases we set a deadline for all bids. Agreement on price is put in writing in the purchase agreement, after which the buyer has at least three days to reconsider. Once the agreed conditions have passed, the notary transfers ownership and you hand over the keys.
Why visit 365 Makelaars at the Bijsterhuizen?
Our office at Bijsterhuizen 2104f is where you can sit down with your agent, look at the figures for your own sale and ask questions in English. Selling? We value your home for free and without obligation, then advise on the asking price, prepare the listing with photos and a floor plan, and host viewings at times that suit buyers, evenings and weekends included.

Where exactly is the 365 Makelaars office?
We are at Bijsterhuizen 2104f, 6604 LG Wijchen, on the business park next to the A73. You can call or message us on +31 24 811 98 24, also on WhatsApp. It is best to make an appointment so your own agent is there.
Do you work in the villages of Wijchen too?
Yes. Besides the town itself we sell and buy homes in Alverna, Balgoij, Batenburg, Bergharen, Hernen, Leur and Niftrik. Buyers in these villages look for different things than buyers in town, so we value each home on its own street and surroundings.
Is Wijchen a good base if I work in Nijmegen?
Many people who work in Nijmegen live in Wijchen. The town has a railway station and good road connections, and the Nijmegen city limits are close. Whether it suits you depends on how you travel and what kind of house you want, which we can discuss during a viewing.
Do you arrange formal valuations for a mortgage?
No. Our home valuation gives you a sound idea of the market value, but it is not a formal valuation ("taxatie"). If your lender needs a validated valuation report, we refer you to a valuer ("taxateur") from our network in the region.
