Living in Schuytgraaf-Centrum, Arnhem
Schuytgraaf-Centrum is the compact core of the eponymous Vinex district on the south side of Arnhem, built from the early 2000s onwards. Anyone renting a home here lives in a planned new-build neighbourhood with wide roads, spacious green areas and a distinct central area. The architecture is varied: ground-level terraced houses and semi-detached homes alternate with apartment complexes, and the central area contains several residential blocks with commercial plinths. It is not a historic neighbourhood with character like you find in districts such as Spijkerkwartier, but it does offer the peace and comfort of a well-planned residential area.
The neighbourhood has a young population structure: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (almost half of all residents), and there are relatively many families with children. You notice this in the streets: bicycles at the front door, playgrounds in the green strips and a lively street scene during the day.
