Schrijvershoek, Zevenaar
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Nicolaas Beetsstraat sits in a peaceful part of Zevenaar, with a garden that catches the sun from two sides. At €349,000, the asking price matches the neighbourhood median exactly, so it's in line with the market. For context, the average price per m² for end-of-terrace houses in Zevenaar is €3,118, and this home's 96 m² works out to about €3,635 per m², a bit above average, but corner houses often command a premium.
The neighbourhood Schrijvershoek is a quiet, established neighbourhood where many residents have lived for decades. One resident says: "Modest and pleasant residents. Many have lived in their homes for a long time, so there is little turnover." Another adds: "A quiet and pleasant neighbourhood. It is nice to live here and there are good contacts with fellow residents." The average age is on the higher side, with a third of residents over 65. Most homes were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and the balance between owner-occupied and rental is fairly even. The neighbourhood is not far from the centre and sees little through traffic.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Aldi are a couple of streets away. Sterrenschool Zevenaar, a primary school, is also just around the corner, while Liemers College for secondary education is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Zevenaar keeps the area well-maintained; this autumn the neighbourhood will get new pipes and paving, with cobblestones replacing asphalt, a change not everyone is thrilled about, but it will give the streets a more traditional look.

Modest and pleasant residents. Many have lived in their homes for a long time, so there is little turnover. The average age has risen considerably over the years. Most children have now left home and live on their own. This autumn, the neighbourhood will undergo major renovations: pipes and paving will be renewed, and the current asphalt paving will be replaced with cobblestones, which not everyone is happy about. The neighbourhood is not far from the centre and is not busy with traffic.
Auto-translated to English by AIA quiet and pleasant neighbourhood. It is nice to live here and there are good contacts with fellow residents. The average age is probably a bit higher than in other districts. Most houses were built in the 1960s and early 1970s. There is a good balance between owner-occupied and rental homes. The main amenities are also present, such as a square and a grass field. For young people it may not be enough, but they are usually found in the city centre and entertain themselves more with their mobile phones. Job seekers will usually find a job outside the neighbourhood because there are few businesses in the Schrijvershoek district. Hopefully the municipality of Zevenaar has no big plans for this neighbourhood and it may stay as it is now! Lifra.
