Living in Buitengebied Leuth, Berg en Dal
Buitengebied Leuth is not a residential neighbourhood in the traditional sense. It is a sparsely populated, rural area on the edge of the village of Leuth, in the municipality of Berg en Dal. With 185 inhabitants spread over a relatively large area, the atmosphere here is distinctly quiet and green. You live in the middle of the Gelderland river landscape, close to the Ooijpolder and the floodplains of the Waal. That is exactly what residents here are looking for: space, nature and distance from the hustle and bustle.
The homes in this rural area are predominantly detached houses and farmhouses, many built in the second half of the twentieth century or earlier. Renting an apartment in Buitengebied Leuth is virtually impossible; the supply consists almost exclusively of larger ground-based homes. This also explains the relatively high average surface area of 96 m² for rented homes. Finding a rental house in this area requires patience, as supply is scarce and variable.
Facilities
Anyone wanting to live in Buitengebied Leuth must take into account the limited availability of daily facilities in the immediate vicinity. For groceries, you drive to the village of Leuth itself or to Ubbergen and Nijmegen. Primary education is available in Leuth (De Bongerd primary school), but for secondary education and further facilities you rely on Nijmegen, about ten kilometres away. Sports and recreation are abundant in nature itself: walking and cycling through the Ooijpolder, along the Waal or towards the Duivelsberg are popular activities. Sports clubs are located in Leuth and surrounding villages.
Accessibility
Accessibility by public transport is limited. There is a bus route via Leuth towards Nijmegen, but the frequency is low and stops in the rural area itself are scarce. By car, you can reach Nijmegen quickly via the N325 (about ten minutes) and via the A15 and A73 for wider regions. Parking is no problem at all: almost all homes have ample parking on private property. Cyclists have access to beautiful rural routes, although the distance to the centre of Nijmegen by bike is about 45 minutes.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace and the surroundings. On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied Leuth you can read what people write about living in this area. One resident describes it as: "Here you really live outside, with views over the polder and no neighbours breathing down your neck. Ideal if you seek nature, but you have to choose it." Criticism almost always concerns the dependence on the car and the limited public transport connections.
Compared to the adjacent housing supply in Leuth, the rural area is quieter and more spacious, but also more expensive and scarcer in supply. Other neighbourhoods in the municipality, such as Berg en Dal or De Horst, offer more variety in rental properties and better public transport connections, but lack the open, rural character of this rural area.
