Living in Didam: village character with Gelderland down-to-earthness
Didam is a sizeable village with nearly 17,500 inhabitants, but it doesn't feel like a city. The centre around the Hoofdstraat has a compact core with an Albert Heijn, a Jumbo and various specialist shops. There is a weekly market and you will find GPs, a pharmacy, dentists and physiotherapists. For larger groceries or shopping, most people drive to Doetinchem or Arnhem, but for daily life you don't need to leave Didam. Residents on the neighbourhood page of Didam give the village a 7.2 out of 10. The green environment scores notably high with an 8.7. That's right: around Didam you have the bocage landscape of the Liemers, with walking and cycling routes towards the Montferlandse Bos and the Diemse Bandijk along the old river course.
Accessibility scores a 7.7 among residents, and rightly so. Didam station is on the Arnhem-Zevenaar-Winterswijk line (Arriva), taking you to Arnhem Central in about 20 minutes. By car, via the A12 (Zevenaar exit), you are quickly on the motorway towards Arnhem, Nijmegen or the German border. Bus connections via Breng line 27 connect Didam with Zevenaar and 's-Heerenberg. Those who also want to see the supply in neighbouring villages can check out Loil or Nieuw-Dijk, which are more rural and often slightly cheaper.
For families, Didam is a logical choice: the largest household group consists of families with children (2,695 households). There are several primary schools, including De Hobbitstee, De Woordhof and Het Kompas, and secondary school students go to the Liemers College in Zevenaar. Sports club DVC '26 (football) and tennis club De Diekenkansen are popular, and swimming pool De Hoevert is on the edge of the village. Yet there is also criticism. Resident Soof writes: "It's a great neighbourhood for families with young children, but for older children there is very little to do in the village." The scores for amenities (6.3) and education (6.0) confirm that picture. Beauty scores a 6.0, which fits a village that is functionally laid out but has no picturesque centre. Resident Milly is enthusiastic about her immediate surroundings: "Nice quiet courtyard close to the centre." That difference shows that the experience varies per neighbourhood. Therefore, also compare the neighbourhoods Didam-Zuid and Didam-Noord to see which part suits you best.
