In the middle of the woods, far from the hustle and bustle: living in Bebouwde kom Doorwerth
Doorwerth is not a neighbourhood you choose for the vibrancy of a city centre. You choose it for the peace, nature and surroundings. The neighbourhood is literally located in the middle of the forests of the Veluwe margin, with the Hoge Veluwe National Park a short distance away and the Rhine to the south. Resident L.J. van der Veen describes it aptly: "It is a very nice neighbourhood, in the middle of the woods, pleasant people, looking out for each other." That is exactly what you find here: a community that has lived here for a long time, knows each other and is not anonymous. The resident score on Buurtje.nl is 8.6 out of 10, and the sub-score for green space is a perfect 10. That says enough about the surroundings.
Safety scores a 9.0 and community also a 9.0. These are no coincidences: the neighbourhood has a strong older profile, with those aged 65 and over as the largest age group (1,405 out of 4,260 residents). This gives Doorwerth a quiet, well-maintained appearance. Accessibility scores an 8.0, which is reasonable for a wooded neighbourhood, but you are dependent on a car or bicycle for daily errands. Amenities score an 8.0 and education a 7.0, which honestly indicates that you have to go to Renkum or Arnhem for schools and larger supermarkets.
