Living in Zuid, Gennep
Zuid is the quiet, green counterpart to the more centrally located neighbourhoods in Gennep. The neighbourhood has a predominantly residential character with mainly ground-floor homes: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Apartments exist, but they form a smaller component of the housing stock. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Zuid will find that the supply is more limited than in the Oude Stadskern.
The character of the neighbourhood is quiet and green, with many families and a large group of over-45s. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (over 1,100 residents), followed by over-65s. This colours the atmosphere: it is not a bustling nightlife area, but a place where people stay for a long time and know each other. Resident Anita Smith, who has lived on Seringenstraat for three years, describes it aptly: "I sometimes find it really surprising how quiet it is here. I have good contact with the neighbourhood. It's nice that everyone lives their own life." That mix of proximity and privacy seems typical of Zuid.
