Where should I live in Arnhem?
We asked digital nomads and expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:
"Finding a place to live in Arnhem involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could be a flat, a shared house, a studio, or a family home. Next, you should start your search online. Websites like Pararius, Funda, and Kamernet are popular platforms for finding rental properties in the Netherlands. These websites allow you to filter your search based on your preferences such as location, price, size, and type of property. Social media can also be a useful tool in your search. There are several Facebook groups dedicated to housing in Arnhem where landlords and tenants post available properties. Another option is to engage the services of a real estate agent. They can help you navigate the housing market, arrange viewings, and negotiate contracts. However, this service usually comes at a cost. If you're a student, you might want to check with your university's housing office. They often have resources available to help students find accommodation. Once you've found a potential place, it's important to visit the property in person before making any commitments. This will give you a chance to check the condition of the property, the neighborhood, and to ask any questions you might have. Finally, once you've found a place you like, you'll need to sign a rental agreement. Make sure to read this carefully and understand all the terms before signing. It's also a good idea to have someone who speaks Dutch and is familiar with the country's rental laws review the contract. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so it's a good idea to start your search well in advance of your move," remarked one foreigner who made the move to Arnhem.
