Homes for sale in Centrum Gendt, Lingewaard

House prices and market figures Centrum Gendt, Lingewaard

The owner-occupied market in Centrum Gendt is compact but varied. Of the 394 homes in the neighbourhood, 63% are owner-occupied, giving the area a predominantly owner-occupied character. The average WOZ value is €326,000, noticeably lower than the district average for Gendt (€348,000) and the municipal average for Lingewaard (€372,000). This difference is partly due to the older housing stock in the centre, where you find more terraced and semi-detached houses from the post-war period than new builds.

However, actual selling prices are significantly higher than the WOZ suggests. In the past twelve months, seven homes were sold with an average purchase price of €642,571. The range was wide: from €349,000 to €1,125,000, indicating that both entry-level homes and larger, detached properties change hands. With an average living area of 179 m², the price per square metre comes to approximately €3,589.

Living in Centrum Gendt, Lingewaard

Centrum Gendt is the village heart of one of the smallest cores in the municipality of Lingewaard. With around 830 residents, it is not an anonymous residential area but a neighbourhood where you know your neighbour and where village life is still truly tangible. The buildings largely consist of homes from the 1950s to 1970s, interspersed with the occasional newer home or renovated property. The streets around Kerkstraat and Dorpsstraat form the core, with the church as a landmark and modest shopping facilities within walking distance.

What stands out in Centrum Gendt is the quiet, almost rural atmosphere you rarely expect in a village centre. The neighbourhood borders the countryside and the floodplains of the Waal, meaning a bike ride to the river is literally a matter of minutes. For daily groceries, you rely on local facilities in the village itself, but for a larger supermarket or specialised shops, you drive to Bemmel or Huissen. Primary school De Regenboog provides education for the youngest residents, and for secondary education, children depend on the surrounding cores.

Accessibility by car is reasonable: via Gendtsestraat and the provincial road N839 you quickly reach Bemmel and from there the A15 or A325. Arnhem is about a twenty-minute drive, Nijmegen a quarter of an hour. There is no train station in Gendt itself; the nearest stations are Elst and Arnhem Centraal. Bus connections run, but frequency is limited, so a car or bike is practically indispensable. Cyclists can comfortably cycle towards Nijmegen or Arnhem via the floodplain paths, making the neighbourhood attractive for those combining this with working from home.

The population composition says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood. The largest age group is 65-plus (265 of the 830 residents), followed by the 45 to 65 age group. This gives Centrum Gendt a quiet, mature atmosphere. Young families are present, but less prominent than in new-build neighbourhoods elsewhere in the municipality. Residents appreciate the peace, social cohesion and proximity to nature. One resident writes: "It's so quiet here that you hear the birds in the evening, yet you're in Arnhem or Nijmegen within half an hour." Some residents are less satisfied with the limited shopping options and bus connections. Read all experiences on the page for Centrum Gendt, where you also find neighbourhood scores per category.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Lootakkers and Molenwijk-Dries, Centrum Gendt has a more historic and compact character. Walburgen and Vleumingen are quieter and greener in nature. For a full understanding of the district context, a good overview can be found on the page about owner-occupied homes in Gendt.

Does an owner-occupied home in Centrum Gendt suit you as a buyer?

Centrum Gendt mainly appeals to movers and seniors who consciously choose peace, space and a village living environment. The average purchase price of over €642,000 makes the neighbourhood less accessible for starters, although the range from €349,000 to €1,125,000 also leaves room for smaller budgets. However, be aware that supply is limited: seven sales in a year means you need to act quickly when something becomes available. If you want to be flexible or first get used to the neighbourhood, you can also look at rental homes in Centrum Gendt as an intermediate solution. One drawback to honestly mention: those who want to live without a car or depend on frequent public transport may encounter issues here.
