Rental homes in Hoogkamp, Arnhem

Rental prices and market figures Hoogkamp, Arnhem

Hoogkamp is one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Arnhem when it comes to property values. With an average WOZ value of €578,000, the neighbourhood is well above the Arnhem average of €323,000, and also slightly below the district average of Burgemeesterswijk/Hoogkamp as a whole (€585,000). That tells you what you need to know: this is a buyer's neighbourhood par excellence. Of the 753 homes, only 9% are in the rental sector, and all those rental properties are owned by private landlords. There is not a single housing association property in Hoogkamp, which means social housing simply does not exist here.

In the free sector (excluding social housing), four homes were rented out in the past twelve months, with an average rent of €1,938 per month. The range ran from €1,152 to €3,950 per month, reflecting the wide diversity in supply. With an average surface area of 155 m², this works out at a rent of around €12.50 per m². That is significantly higher than the average in many other Arnhem neighbourhoods. See the current supply and daily rental prices at the top of this page.

Living in Hoogkamp, Arnhem

Hoogkamp is not your average Arnhem residential neighbourhood. The neighbourhood lies on the western side of the city, on the ice-pushed ridge, and has a green and quiet character that you rarely find in other urban neighbourhoods. The housing stock largely consists of detached villas and semi-detached houses from the first half of the twentieth century, with spacious gardens and wide avenues. Streets like Koninginnelaan and the area around Sonsbeek Park give the neighbourhood an almost estate-like feel. It is quiet, there is little through traffic, and the homes are generally set back from the street. Anyone looking for a rental home in an urban environment but also wanting peace and greenery will find a rare combination here.

Facilities in Hoogkamp

The neighbourhood itself is compact and has no shopping street or supermarket within walking distance. For daily groceries, you go to the nearby Spijkerkwartier or the shops around Gelderse Plein. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity include De Klimop primary school and the Vrije School Arnhem, both within cycling distance. Sonsbeek Park borders directly on the neighbourhood and offers plenty of space for walking, running and playing. Tennis club Sonsbeek and various other sports clubs are nearby. For healthcare, the Rijnstate Hospital is easily accessible via Velperweg.

Accessibility

Arnhem Central Station is about a fifteen-minute bike ride from Hoogkamp, via Sonsbeek Park or Apeldoornseweg. By car, you can quickly reach the A12 or A50 via Velperweg or Amsterdamseweg. Connexxion bus lines run via Apeldoornseweg towards the centre and beyond. Parking is still free on most streets, although pressure is increasing in spots closer to the park. Hoogkamp is emphatically a neighbourhood for people who like to cycle or have a car; public transport provision is functional but not extensive.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and green surroundings. On the Hoogkamp neighbourhood page you can read what residents actually say. One resident writes: "Hoogkamp feels like living outside the city, but you are in the middle of it in ten minutes. The avenues are beautiful and it is really quiet here." Criticisms sometimes concern the limited local facilities and the fact that you have to leave the neighbourhood for almost everything.

Compared to neighbouring areas, Hoogkamp has a distinctly different character. The Transvaalbuurt is more compact and urban, with more porch flats and a livelier street scene. Sonsbeek/Zijpendaal is similar to Hoogkamp in terms of greenery and atmosphere but has a slightly different housing supply. Those seeking more urbanity can also look at available rental properties in the Spijkerkwartier, which is livelier and has more rental homes.

Is a rental home in Hoogkamp right for you?

Given the demographics, with a large group of residents aged 45 to 65 and many families, Hoogkamp is typically a neighbourhood for people in a stable phase of life. The average income of €55,700 per household is clearly above the Arnhem average, which is also reflected in the rental prices. Renting a flat in Hoogkamp or renting a home in Hoogkamp is therefore not cheap. With an average free sector rent of €1,938 per month, you need a substantial income to be able to rent here. Starters or students will find hardly any affordable supply here. Social housing does not exist in this neighbourhood.
