Living in Bakenhof, Arnhem
Bakenhof is located in the southern part of Arnhem, nestled between the quieter residential neighbourhoods of Malburgen-Oost. The neighbourhood has a green, residential character that you wouldn't expect so close to the ring road. The homes mostly date from the 1980s and 1990s: predominantly semi-detached houses and detached homes with gardens, interspersed with terraced houses on the edges. Streets such as Bakenhofstraat and surrounding avenues are spacious, with green strips and playgrounds that give the neighbourhood a family-friendly appearance.
The residents are relatively young: the largest group is between 25 and 45 years old, and families with children are the most common household type. You notice this in the neighbourhood: there are primary schools within cycling distance, the playgrounds are well used, and the streets are lively during school hours. For daily shopping, you quickly drive to Kronenburg shopping centre or the supermarkets along Nijmeegseweg. Larger shops and the city centre of Arnhem are reachable within about ten minutes by car.
By car, Bakenhof is well connected via the A325 towards Nijmegen and the A12/A50 towards Utrecht and The Hague. Public transport is via bus lines that connect to Arnhem Central Station, although the neighbourhood is not the most public-transport-friendly in the city. By bike to the centre takes about fifteen minutes via the main cycle paths along the Pleijroute.
Residents appreciate the peace and space. One resident writes: "Bakenhof feels like a real residential neighbourhood, quiet but not boring. The children play outside and the neighbours know each other." Less positive are some residents about the accessibility by public transport and the limited dining options in the immediate vicinity.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Groene Weide and Kamillehof, Bakenhof has a slightly higher average property value and a somewhat more homogeneous housing stock. Those looking for more urban dynamism can also look at districts such as Spijkerkwartier or Centrum.
Who is a home in Bakenhof interesting for?
Bakenhof mainly appeals to families and movers looking for space: a garden, a garage and multiple bedrooms are the norm here rather than the exception. With an average income of €40,700 per household and a labour participation rate of 69%, the neighbourhood is financially solid. Starters will find the entry price of €375,000 already steep, especially since supply is limited and competition for attractive homes is real. As a buyer, be prepared to bid above the asking price for popular properties. Those who want to be more flexible or first explore the neighbourhood can also look at rental homes in Bakenhof as an intermediate step.
