Living in Buitengebied Gendt, Lingewaard
Buitengebied Gendt is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. There are no shopping streets, no school around the corner and no neighbours five metres away. What there is: openness, tranquillity and a landscape consisting of floodplains, orchards and polders along the Waal. The buildings are scattered, the plots are large and the silence is almost tangible in some places.
The homes here are predominantly detached, often from an older construction period but regularly thoroughly renovated or extended. Characteristic farmhouses alternate with 1970s bungalows and more modern country houses. The average home of 229 m² already indicates that this is not a neighbourhood for small family homes. Anyone buying here wants space, both inside and out.
Daily shopping is done in the nearby village of Gendt itself, where a supermarket and some basic amenities are available. For a wider range of shops, secondary schools and hospital care, you drive to Bemmel or Nijmegen. Primary education is available in Gendt itself. Sports clubs in the village are active and the social cohesion in the region is strong, although it is logically less intensive in the rural area than in the village centre.
Accessibility by car is reasonable. Via provincial roads you quickly reach the A15 towards Arnhem and Nijmegen. There is no train station directly nearby: the nearest station is Elst, a few kilometres away. Bus connections are limited, which means that a car here is not a luxury but a necessity. Cyclists do find beautiful routes through the floodplains, but for commuting by bike to Nijmegen the distance is considerable.
Residents value the peace and space above all. On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied Gendt you can read what people write about it. One resident describes it as: "Here you really live outside, with a view of the river and no neighbours breathing down your neck. That is exactly why we came to live here." Criticisms usually concern the limited public transport connections and the fact that you need the car for almost everything.
Compared to the other neighbourhoods in the district, Buitengebied Gendt is the most rural. Centrum Gendt offers more village-like proximity with amenities within walking distance, while Walburgen and Lootakkers have a more residential estate character.
