Living in Verspreide huizen Heumen, Heumen
Verspreide huizen Heumen is, as the name suggests, not a compact residential area but a looser collection of homes scattered across the rural area around the core of Heumen. Think detached houses, farms and spacious homes along dykes, forest edges and polder lanes, embedded in the Gelderland river landscape between the Meuse and the Nijmegen city edge. It is a neighbourhood for those who value peace, space and greenery over urban proximity.
The housing types are predominantly detached or semi-detached, with an average WOZ value above the municipal average. New-build apartments or porch flats are hardly found here.
