A quiet neighbourhood

Lingebuurt is a quiet, safe neighbourhood, especially because it is peaceful. The people are friendly and happy to help you. There is plenty of choice in housing. Close to this neighbourhood there is plenty to do, including shopping, playing, school, nature walks. So it is a nice neighbourhood to live in as a family, but also on your own.

A quiet, cosy neighbourhood where culture can certainly be found!

Lingebuurt is a quiet neighbourhood where you can find everything. The neighbourhood is also very close to a supermarket, restaurant and schools (secondary and primary). The people who live there are often very friendly and happy to help you. Near Lingebuurt there is also public transport and a village (Elst) where you can find Theatre De KiK. Theatre De KiK is personally my favourite, because it is not too big and there is a lot to do, including music/dance lessons, performances, shows and youth projects. In summary, I think Lingebuurt is a very nice place to live, because everything is close by.

A neighbourhood where you can find almost everything and where most places are easily accessible.

Our neighbourhood is often quiet (which I personally like) and if someone throws a party with loud music, they let us know in advance. Additionally, shops and the village itself are very accessible (about 10-15 minutes by bike) and there are plenty of secondary and primary schools very close by. Residents in our neighbourhood treat each other with respect and safety. The housing is fine for a quiet life, the only downside is that the houses are extremely expensive. To summarise, our neighbourhood is a very handy little neighbourhood to live in if you like peace and quiet.

Top neighbourhood

Very nice neighbourhood. Primary school, secondary school, Jumbo and the chip shop nearby. Furthermore, many playgrounds for the kids. All neighbours greet each other. The village is a 10-minute bike ride away. In the village you have many shopping options. For me a very nice neighbourhood!

Nice, quiet neighbourhood

Quiet neighbourhood with generally nice people. A fifteen-minute walk from the train station and a direct bus to Arnhem or Nijmegen stops here. Jumbo nearby, unfortunately the only option for a quick grocery run. In my opinion, too many children in the area who make a lot of noise around school times, also at 7:00 in the morning with their parents present.
