Amsterdamseweg 248
West van Schaarsbergen, Arnhem
AreaA spacious retreat in Arnhem's green fringe
This detached home on Amsterdamseweg sits in a remarkably quiet corner of Arnhem, where the city feels far away. With 351 m² of living space and a 1,367 m² plot, it is the most expensive property currently for sale in the neighbourhood, at €1,000,000, it is 335% above the local average asking price of €229,738. That premium reflects the rarity of such a large, energy-efficient (label A) home in this area. For context, detached houses in Arnhem are scarce, and this one stands out.
West van Schaarsbergen: quiet, green, and sparsely populated
The neighbourhood West van Schaarsbergen is a tiny enclave of just 640 residents, with a very low address density (33 addresses per km²), the least urban category. One resident describes it as 'super nice and quiet', adding: 'Our neighbourhood is very quiet and there are many other people living near me, which makes it very cosy.' The population is mostly older: 45-65 year olds form the largest group, and 65-plus residents are also well represented. Most homes are single-family (82%), but only 17% are owner-occupied, so this listing is an exception in a neighbourhood where renting is the norm.
Daily life: a car-dependent setting with essentials a drive away
For groceries, the nearest supermarket is SPAR express, a couple of streets away, while Albert Heijn and Coop are about a five-minute drive. The closest school is Lichtenbeek (special education) just around the corner, and the nearest primary school is Bernulphusschool, a ten-minute walk. A train station is 4.8 km away, so a car is handy. The municipality Arnhem offers plenty of cultural amenities, but here in the west you trade convenience for peace and space.
