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.
