Buitengebied Aalten: what you choose if you really want space

Living in Buitengebied Aalten means living in the Achterhoek's coulisse landscape, with hedgerows, fields and farmyards as your daily view. The district comprises a collection of small hamlets and scattered buildings, from Barlo-Kern and Lintelo-kern to Verspreide huizen Heurne and Verspreide huizen IJzerlo. Each neighbourhood has its own character, but the common thread is the same: peace, space and a strong sense of community.

On the district page for Buitengebied Aalten you can read what residents themselves say. A recurring theme in the reviews is the peace and greenery, but also the honesty that you really need to take the car for groceries and other daily necessities. One resident puts it aptly: "You have space and quiet here, but you have to like that everything is a bit further away." Supermarkets, schools and sports clubs are found in the centres of Aalten and Dinxperlo, a five to ten-minute drive away. Aalten itself has a Jumbo and an Aldi, a GP practice, primary schools and a secondary school. For the rural area: the cycle routes are beautiful, but a car is not a luxury, it is a necessity.

In terms of accessibility: Aalten no longer has a train station in use for passengers, but bus connections via Arriva run to Winterswijk and Doetinchem. Via the N18 you are in Doetinchem in about 25 minutes and in just over half an hour on the A18 towards the Randstad. If you regularly travel to Arnhem or Nijmegen, expect a journey of three-quarters of an hour. That is a conscious choice that comes with this area. The neighbouring municipality Bredevoort and the centre Aalten Kern offer slightly more urban amenities for those who combine that with a rural address. More about the municipality can be found on the page for Aalten or on the official municipal website of Aalten.
