Presikhaaf-Oost: quiet living with a shopping centre around the corner
Residents rate Presikhaaf-Oost on Buurtje.nl with a 6.7 out of 10. That is not an exceptional score, and the neighbourhood is not for everyone. What does stand out is accessibility: it scores a 9.0. That is not surprising given that bus lines to Arnhem Central station run frequently and you can quickly get onto the A12 by car. Resident Bryan describes the neighbourhood as "quiet and empty," but immediately adds: "There are many shops, everything is close by, and it is easy to reach by bus or train." The Presikhaaf shopping centre, located in the middle of the neighbourhood, is a major draw. In the Winkelcentrum area you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy, hairdressers, and eateries. Resident Sean, who has lived there for six months, confirms this: "Thanks to the shopping centre, you can do a lot of things without going too far."
However, there are clear drawbacks. The score for community spirit is notably low at 4.5. Sean notes that more events could be organised, especially for the large group of students in the neighbourhood. The education score (4.0) is also disappointing. Those looking for a lively area with strong social cohesion will not find it here automatically. Bryan also warns that the park can feel unsafe in the evenings and that dealing or car vandalism sometimes occurs in parking lots. The safety score of 6.5 reflects this.

What does score well is the greenery in the neighbourhood (8.0). The Presikhaafpark and the green strips along the Lange Water offer space for walking and jogging. The Over het Lange Water area is therefore popular with people who like to live by the water. Towards the edge of the neighbourhood, IJsseloord has a more business-oriented character, while Elsweide offers a quiet, green residential environment.
