Living in De Nieuweling, Duiven
De Nieuweling is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Duiven. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1980s and 1990s and has the recognisable profile of an expansion district from that period: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, spacious plots and a mix of semi-detached houses and detached houses. There are also terraced houses, but they are clearly in the minority. The homes are generally well-maintained and many owners have invested heavily over the years in extensions, solar panels and gardens.
The atmosphere is quiet and the neighbourhood has a distinct village character, even though you are technically in a municipality bordering the Liemers region and the A12 corridor. Families with children form the largest household group (260 households), and you can tell that in the neighbourhood. Children cycle to school, there are basketball hoops in the streets and the playgrounds are actually used. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, meaning many residents have lived in the neighbourhood for a while and consciously choose to stay.
For daily shopping you drive or cycle to the centre of Duiven, where a Jumbo and an Albert Heijn are within walking distance of each other. De Nieuweling itself does not have its own shopping street, but most residents do not experience this as a major drawback. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity are available in Duiven-Noord, and for secondary education Zevenaar and Arnhem are easily accessible. Sports club Duiven offers football within a short distance, and there are tennis courts and a swimming pool in the municipality.
In terms of accessibility, De Nieuweling scores reasonably well. The A12 can be reached via the Duiven exit within a few minutes, giving you quick access to Arnhem or Utrecht. Duiven railway station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, with connections to Arnhem Central in about twelve minutes. Arnhem itself is also accessible by bus via the bus line that runs through Duiven-Noord. Cyclists benefit from the relatively flat surroundings and the existing cycle paths towards the centre and the main roads to surrounding villages.
Residents appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. On the neighbourhood main page of De Nieuweling you can read the full resident experiences and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It's really quiet living here, the streets are wide and there's lots of greenery. Ideal if you have children who want to play outside." Criticisms that come up are the limited own shopping facilities and the dependence on the car or bike for many amenities. Compared to neighbourhoods like Centrum or Oud Zuid, De Nieuweling is quieter and greener, but also a bit further from direct amenities. Compared to the rest of Duiven-Noord, house prices here are clearly higher, confirming the neighbourhood's appeal.
