Rental homes in Schuytgraaf-Zuid, Arnhem

Rental prices and market figures for Schuytgraaf-Zuid, Arnhem

Schuytgraaf-Zuid is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 72% of the more than 2,100 homes are owner-occupied, only 28% are rental properties. Of that rental segment, 19% is owned by housing associations (social housing via, for example, Vivare) and 9% is in the hands of other landlords, such as private investors or institutional parties. This makes the free-sector supply relatively limited.

In the free sector (excluding social housing), the average rent over the past year was €1,817 per month, with a range of €1,217 to €2,495 per month. With an average floor area of 119 m², this works out to around €15.27 per m². That is considerably higher than the Arnhem average, which is logical given the new-build quality and spacious homes here. The WOZ value in Schuytgraaf-Zuid is €455,000, higher than the district average of €432,000 and well above the Arnhem average of €323,000.

Living in Schuytgraaf-Zuid, Arnhem

Schuytgraaf-Zuid is a modern new-build neighbourhood on the south side of Arnhem, largely built from the early 2000s onwards. The streetscape is characterised by spacious single-family homes, semi-detached houses and the occasional block of flats, often with sleek architecture and plenty of variation in facades. Gardens are generally spacious and the streets are wide, with separate cycle paths and many green strips. It feels more like a village on the edge of the city than an urban district: quiet, orderly and child-friendly. With 1,530 children under 15 and 1,270 households with children, that is no surprise.

Facilities in the neighbourhood

For daily shopping, there is Schuytgraaf shopping centre on Schuytgraafseweg, which includes an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo. Within walking distance you will find primary schools such as De Wegwijzer and Kindcentrum De Peppels. For secondary education, teenagers have to go to the centre or Presikhaaf. For sports, there are opportunities at football club MASV and Schuytgraaf tennis park, both within cycling distance. Park Schuytgraaf offers space for walking and playing, and the Meinerswijk nature reserve along the Rhine can be reached in a few minutes by bike. There is hardly any catering in the neighbourhood itself; for that you go to the centre of Arnhem.

Accessibility from Schuytgraaf-Zuid

The neighbourhood is close to the A325 and A50, meaning you can be on the motorway towards Nijmegen or Ede within ten minutes. By car, you can reach the centre of Arnhem in about twenty minutes, depending on traffic. Public transport is a point of attention: buses (lines 10 and 11) run to Arnhem Centraal station, but the frequency is limited outside peak hours and the journey time is easily 25 to 30 minutes. By bike, you can reach the centre in a quarter of an hour via the Batavierenweg. Parking is free on most streets and there is plenty of space, a big difference from neighbourhoods closer to the centre.

Residents of Schuytgraaf-Zuid particularly appreciate the peace, space and child-friendly character. "Nice, green neighbourhood with lots of young families. Children can play safely outside here," writes a resident on the Schuytgraaf-Zuid neighbourhood page. Recurring criticisms: public transport could be better, there is little catering and it can be very quiet in the evenings. If you are looking for more bustle, you are better off in the Spijkerkwartier. Compared to Schuytgraaf-Noord and Schuytgraaf-Centrum, the southern part is slightly newer and more spacious, with on average higher WOZ values.
