Velp Noord is a nice neighbourhood to grow up in. It's quiet, yet everything is close by. The playground is always busy with children, and the park is perfect for a bike ride or to hang out with friends. There are many green spaces, so it's nice for walking, especially in the summer. The people are generally friendly, though you don't know everyone. What I really like is that you can easily get to the city, but it's not too busy. You do notice that more and more new houses are being built, which changes the atmosphere a bit, but I think it's a good change.

About Heemskerklaan 59, Velp (Ge)
The asking price of €295,000 is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €661,110, but the apartment is also 52% smaller than the average home in the area (72 m² vs 150 m²). Given the compact size and energy label G, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, older apartment in this neighbourhood.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a better-insulated home. In the neighbourhood, only 23.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is among the least efficient. It may be worth budgeting for potential upgrades.
The train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Arnhem or other cities convenient without needing a car.
The closest supermarket is SPAR express at just 102 m, so you can pop out for essentials in a minute. Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both under 1 km away, and Aldi and PLUS are within 1.2 km, giving you plenty of choice for weekly shopping.
The neighbourhood has a total of 371 recorded crimes, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The resident review describes it as quiet and friendly, with a playground that's always busy with children, suggesting a safe environment for families.
There are several primary schools within 2 km, including IKC Dorpsschool Rozendaal (1.7 km) and De Parkschool (2.1 km). For secondary education, Het Rhedens Rozendaal is 0.95 km away. The area has a good selection of schools, though you may need to check availability.
At 72 m², this apartment is 52% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 150 m². It's a compact home, typical of older apartments in the area. If you need more space, you might look at larger properties, but they come with a higher price tag.
