Living in Weverstraat, Arnhem
Weverstraat is located in the heart of Arnhem's city centre, within walking distance of the Korenmarkt and the shopping area around Ketelstraat and Roggestraat. It is a compact, urban neighbourhood where you mainly find apartments, ranging from small upper-floor homes above shops to larger apartments in newer complexes. The atmosphere is typically inner-city: lively during the day due to hospitality and shoppers, quieter in the evening but never completely silent. With 2,030 residents on a small area, you live close together here, and you notice that.
The population is young and predominantly single. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (825 residents) and there are no fewer than 1,030 single-person households. Only 15% of households are married. This gives the neighbourhood a dynamic, sometimes somewhat restless character. Resident Alex de Jong describes it aptly: "It's local and you can get anywhere", but adds that the presence of homeless people and "shady characters" dampens the experience. The safety score from residents is therefore a meagre 5.0 out of 10.
Facilities around Weverstraat
In terms of facilities, you score a 9.0 from residents, and that is justified. Within a five-minute walk you are at an Albert Heijn and Jumbo in the centre. The Modekwartier shops, various restaurants along the Korenmarkt and cafés on Jansplein are a stone's throw away. For education, there are primary schools such as De Springplank in the centre and secondary schools like Lorentz Lyceum within cycling distance. GPs and a pharmacy can be found in the immediate vicinity. What the neighbourhood lacks is green space: residents give only a 4.5 for green facilities. Sonsbeek Park is about a ten-minute walk away, but in the neighbourhood itself it is mainly stone and asphalt. Alex de Jong notes: "I would like to see more green."
Accessibility from Weverstraat
Accessibility is the absolute strong point of this neighbourhood, with a perfect 10 from residents. Arnhem Central Station is less than a ten-minute walk away. From there, you can reach Utrecht, Amsterdam or Nijmegen in an hour. Several bus lines stop at Willemsplein and Stationsplein. By car, you can quickly reach the A325 towards the A12 and A50 via the Nelson Mandelabrug. Parking, however, is a point of attention: paid parking and a permit system apply in the centre. Having your own parking spot at your rental property is more the exception than the rule. By bike, you can reach almost all of Arnhem within a quarter of an hour.
Resident Hani sums it up as "Cosy and accessible" and notes that living in the middle of the centre also has downsides, but that everything is easily reachable.
