Living in De Horst, Zevenaar
De Horst is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the west side of Zevenaar, recognisable by its wide streets, front gardens and relatively spacious plots for a neighbourhood within walking distance of the city centre. The homes mostly date from the 1970s and 1980s: semi-detached houses and terraced houses with a practical layout, solid construction and usually a worthwhile back garden. Detached houses exist but are scarce and rarely offered.
The atmosphere is subdued and community-oriented. Residents know each other, people cycle to the baker's and children play in the street. That is not marketing talk; it is what you notice when you walk around there for an afternoon. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of over-65s (over a quarter of residents), which contributes to the quiet tone. At the same time, there are also families in the 25-45 age group, who choose the neighbourhood for its space and proximity to the centre of Zevenaar.

Primary schools and a library are present in the immediate vicinity. Sports clubs in Zevenaar, including football and tennis, are easily accessible. Green space within the neighbourhood itself is limited, but the surroundings of Zevenaar offer plenty of room for walking and cycling, towards the Liemers and the floodplains of the Rhine.
