The WOZ value in Presikhaaf-West averages €247,000, well below the Arnhem average of €323,000. This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: relatively affordable, social in design, and with a low proportion of owner-occupied homes. Those considering buying a home here instead of renting can visit the page homes for sale in Presikhaaf-West, but supply is scarce. The average income of €26,100 per year is also clearly below the municipal average of €35,600, which typifies the social composition of the neighbourhood well.
Presikhaaf-West from the inside: cosy or restless, depending on who you ask
Residents give Presikhaaf-West an average score of 7.1 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on seven reviews. That score covers a wide range of experiences. Green spaces score well (7.4), as do housing (8.1) and education (7.8). But safety stands out with a notably low score of 6.1, and that is no coincidence.
Several residents mention specific incidents. Anita, who has lived in the neighbourhood for over two years, writes enthusiastically about the shopping centre nearby and the fact that she regularly sees people cleaning up litter. But she also has a "mixed feeling": her sense of safety disappeared within a few months of her arrival, after a serious incident near her flat and a firework bomb in the street behind. She calls for more police on the streets. Wilma describes her apartment complex itself as pleasant, with approachable neighbours, but admits that the surroundings can "sometimes be a bit restless".
