Rental homes in Schuytgraaf, Arnhem

The rental market in Schuytgraaf: spacious and modern living at a price

Anyone who follows the housing market in Arnhem a bit knows that Schuytgraaf is an exception to the rule. While in many other neighbourhoods you mainly encounter older buildings, Schuytgraaf – often called 'Arnhem in the Betuwe' – is entirely focused on modern living comfort. This is immediately reflected in the figures. The average WOZ value here is significantly higher at €432,000 compared to the municipal average of €323,000. This price level logically translates to the rental sector as well. Although 40% of the neighbourhood consists of rental properties, the distribution is sharp: about half of that is social housing (housing association stock), and the other half is the private sector.

For the latter segment, you have to reckon with substantial monthly costs. In the past twelve months, the average rent for a property in the private sector was €1,641 per month. The range is wide, varying from €780 for the smaller apartments to as much as €2,850 for detached villas, but you do get space in return: an average of 118 square metres. A striking detail is the energy consumption. With an average gas consumption of only 40 m³ (compared to high electricity consumption), it is clear that most rental properties in Schuytgraaf are connected to district heating and are excellently insulated. So you pay more rent, but often save significantly on your energy bill.

Atmosphere samples: a safe family neighbourhood with urban amenities

Figures only tell half the story. The big question is: what does it feel like to live here? Schuytgraaf is designed as a collection of diverse neighbourhoods, each with its own character, which prevents it from feeling like a massive new-build desert. Residents greatly appreciate this setup and give the neighbourhood a nice 7.8 as a rating. Especially safety (8.0) and education (9.0) stand out, making the neighbourhood a magnet for young families. One resident aptly describes it in a review: "Nice neighbourhood for a family, accessible to many amenities and conveniently located. It doesn't feel rushed or outdated."

This resident also notes that Schuytgraaf-Noord has a very clear layout, which benefits accessibility. It is true that the infrastructure is well thought out. With Arnhem Zuid station, you have a direct train connection, and the shopping centre in the heart of the neighbourhood offers more than just daily groceries. Yet there is also room for criticism. The score for 'Green' remains somewhat behind at 6.0. Although the neighbourhood is spacious, the planted greenery in the newest parts, such as the southern fields, often still needs to mature. This sometimes makes it a bit stony, although by bike you are quickly in the Betuwe or at the Rijkerswoerdse Plassen.

Is a rental home in Schuytgraaf the right choice for you?

Let's be honest: Schuytgraaf is not for everyone. With an average income of €46,100 and a resident group that for the most part (3,210 households) consists of families with children, the profile is clear. Are you a starter with a limited budget or a student looking for nightlife? Then you will probably not succeed here. For starters, the supply in Presikhaaf-West or the Arnhemse Broek is often more accessible. However, if you are looking for a spacious house to rent in Schuytgraaf for your family and value an A-label property and safety on the street, then this is the place to be. If you find the rents too steep, then take a look at the possibilities for buying a home in Schuytgraaf, since 60% of the neighbourhood consists of owner-occupied homes and the monthly costs there are sometimes more favourable.
