Apartments and flats for Rent in Arnhem

Arnhem apartments for rent cost €1,224 a month on average, based on over 6,200 listings tracked by RentHunter in Arnhem since February 2024. Eight in ten of these listings ask between €748 and €1,750 for an average of 68 m², and the average deposit is 1.04 months of rent.

Arnhem is the capital of Gelderland, a city of 155,699 inhabitants on the Rhine, and its apartment market is aimed at working tenants more than students: 11% of listings target expats and 5% target students, who mostly look at rooms in Arnhem instead. 70% of listings state that you can register at the address, 34% mention a balcony and 23% are listed as furnished, so furnished apartments in Arnhem are a real option.

Many other Arnhem listings say gestoffeerd: floors, curtains and light fittings but no furniture, unlike kaal, which often means no flooring at all. A gestoffeerd rental property saves you the cost of laying floors.

Arnhem Centraal is the rail hub for apartment renters in Arnhem, with Intercity trains to Utrecht and Amsterdam and ICE trains into Germany. Den Haag is about 82 minutes away by public transit, Eindhoven about 84 and Rotterdam about 88.

Inside the city, Arnhem runs the only trolleybus network in the Netherlands, so a flat near a trolley line works without a car: 23% of listings mention parking.

Utrecht is about 40 minutes from Arnhem by public transit, the shortest big-city commute from Arnhem. Renters who work at Utrecht Science Park or around Utrecht Centraal can live in Arnhem and change in Utrecht for the rest of the Randstad.

Amsterdam is about 74 minutes from Arnhem by public transit, on a direct Intercity. The route suits hybrid workers who go to the capital two or three days a week and spend the other days in an Arnhem apartment.

An apartment in Arnhem costs 12% more than one in Apeldoorn on average: €1,224 against €1,096 a month, about €128 apart. For that, Arnhem gives you the Intercity and ICE trains of Arnhem Centraal and the campuses of HAN University of Applied Sciences and ArtEZ.

In Arnhem, the number of bedrooms sets the rent. A 1-bedroom apartment averages €1,067, a 2-bedroom €1,419, a 3-bedroom €1,469 and a 4-bedroom €1,625. The step from one to two bedrooms adds about €350 a month and the third bedroom about €50, so a three-bedroom flat is often the better deal for a small family.

Arnhem's current asking rents are stable. Apartments first seen on RentHunter in the 90 days to October 2026 have a median asking rent of €1,132, within 1% of both three and twelve months earlier, and about 36 apartments are newly listed per week (28 days to October 2026). Above €1,750 you are in the top tenth of the market, where most luxury apartments in Arnhem sit.
