Beinum, Molenveld and the old city centre: one district, very different faces
Wijk 01 is not a homogeneous whole. It includes diverse neighbourhoods, from the post-war residential areas Beinum I and Beinum II to the historic old city centre within the moat and the greener Noordelijk Molenveld. This diversity is also reflected in residents' experiences.
On Buurtje.nl, Wijk 01 scores an average of 6.2 out of 10, based on two reviews. Resident Soraya gives the district a 6.5 and writes: "When we moved here 10 years ago, Beinum was a neat neighbourhood. Everything looked well-maintained. But in recent years, it has become increasingly neglected. There is rubbish everywhere. Wadi's have been created where a lot of weeds grow and are not maintained." Harrie (5.9) partly confirms that picture: "The neighbourhood is very tidy and well-maintained in some parts, but in other places it is ugly and outdated. The rental homes are ready for demolition." Both reviews point to a district that varies in condition depending on the street or neighbourhood where you live. The scores for cleanliness (4.5) and housing (4.5) are therefore the lowest sub-scores. Read all experiences and view the full district data on the Wijk 01 district page.
Nevertheless, there are also clear plus points. Amenities score an 8.0 and accessibility a 7.5, which aligns with Doesburg's location: compact, with shops and services within walking distance in or near the historic centre. Green space scores a 7.0 and education also gets a 7.0, which is relevant for families with children. The district has relatively many people aged 45 and over and elderly residents, and with 2,045 single-person households, it is also a district where single people are well represented. The atmosphere is generally quiet, but the maintenance condition of public spaces and the housing stock leaves something to be desired in places. Anyone considering renting in Wijk 01 would do well to thoroughly explore the specific neighbourhood before making a decision. The area around De Ooi or Zuidelijk Molenveld can look very different from the more densely built-up parts of Beinum.
Renting in Wijk 01: who is this suitable for, and who is it not?
Renting a home in Wijk 01 is most attractive for single people and older households who value peace and proximity to amenities. The average income in the district is €33,200 per year, which means that a free-sector rent of an average €1,550 per month is a significant chunk for some residents. Those looking for an affordable apartment to rent in Wijk 01 in the free sector have little choice. Young families looking for a ready-to-move-in, modern home will find little suitable supply here, given the condition of part of the housing stock.

When we moved here 10 years ago, Beinum was a tidy neighbourhood. Everything looked well-maintained. But in recent years it has become increasingly neglected. Rubbish everywhere!!! Wadi's have been created where a huge amount of weeds grow that are not maintained, and there is a lot of nuisance from loitering youths on fatbikes, so I don't dare let my child walk alone on the street. Complaining to the municipality is useless because they do little about it. Unfortunately, the neighbourhood was so beautiful....
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very neat and well-maintained in some parts, in other places in this neighbourhood it is ugly and old-fashioned. The rental homes are ready for demolition. A few fresh new homes would make this neighbourhood much nicer. Greetings Harrie
