How do I find a place to live in Nijmegen?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered...

"Finding a place to live in Nijmegen involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could be a studio, an apartment, a shared house, or a student dormitory. Next, start your search online. Websites like Pararius, Funda, and Kamernet are popular platforms for finding rental properties in the Netherlands. You can filter your search based on your preferences such as location, price, size, and type of property. Social media can also be a useful tool. There are several Facebook groups dedicated to housing in Nijmegen where landlords and tenants post available rooms or apartments. Another option is to engage a real estate agent. While this service is not free, it can save you a lot of time and effort. The agent will do the searching for you, arrange viewings, and help with the rental agreement. If you're a student, you might want to check with your university. Many universities have housing offices that help students find accommodation. They often have partnerships with housing corporations and can offer rooms or apartments at a reduced price. Once you've found a potential place, arrange a viewing. This will give you a chance to see the property in person, meet the landlord or current tenants, and ask any questions you might have. Finally, if you're happy with the place, you can proceed to sign the rental agreement. Make sure to read it carefully and understand all the terms and conditions before signing. Remember, finding a place to live can take time, so start your search well in advance. Also, be aware of rental scams. Never pay any money before you've seen the property and signed a contract," wrote a member who made the move to Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
