Velp-Noord boven spoorlijn, Rheden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Heemskerklaan 59 sits in a leafy part of Velp, where the streets are calm and the park is just a short walk away. With 72 m² of living space, it's a compact home that feels cosy rather than cramped. The energy label G means heating costs will be noticeable, but the asking price of €295,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, 55% below the typical €661,110, partly because this home is smaller than most. For context, apartments in Rheden vary widely in price and size.

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
The asking price of €295,000 is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €661,110, but this apartment is also 52% smaller than the typical home in Velp-Noord (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, less efficient home in this area.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, only about 23% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than most. It's worth budgeting for higher energy costs.
The train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Arnhem or other cities without needing a car.
The closest supermarket is SPAR express, just 102 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both under a kilometre away, so you have several options for daily shopping within a short walk.
