Living in Klarendal-Noord, Arnhem
Klarendal-Noord is located in the northwestern part of the Klarendal district, close to the centre of Arnhem. The neighbourhood has a distinct character of its own: it is not a glossy city neighbourhood, but neither is it a boring average residential area. Resident Daniël describes it as a "cosy neighbourhood with an idyllic landscape" and emphasises that it is both lively and quiet. That matches what you find there: narrow streets, older buildings from the first half of the twentieth century, and a mix of porch flats, single-family homes and smaller apartments. The atmosphere is informal and the neighbourhood has a certain rough charm that suits the historic Klarendal.
The population composition is diverse. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (over a third of all residents), and single-person households form the largest household group. Only 16% are married, indicating that this is not a typical family neighbourhood. Renting in Klarendal-Noord is therefore best suited to singles, couples without children and young professionals.

The neighbourhood also scores a 10 for green space, which is striking in an urban environment: the proximity of Sonsbeek Park and smaller green areas in the district provide a breath of fresh air.
