Purchase prices in Elderveld: more affordable than the Arnhem average
Elderveld is a neighbourhood where buying and renting are fairly balanced: 51% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, 49% is rental. The average WOZ value is €264,000, which is clearly lower than the municipal average of €323,000 for Arnhem as a whole. This difference makes Elderveld interesting for buyers who want to live in an urban environment without paying the highest prices. In the past twelve months, 37 homes were sold, with an average purchase price of €388,135 and a range from €250,000 to €535,000. The average home has a floor area of 115 m². The supply mainly consists of post-war single-family homes and some gallery apartments, which is typical for a neighbourhood built in the 1960s and 1970s.

Living in Elderveld: green and quiet, but with clear differences per sub-area
Elderveld scores a 7.5 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. That is a fair score for a neighbourhood that is not spectacular but is certainly pleasant to live in. Residents particularly appreciate the greenery (8.3) and accessibility (8.0). Reviewer S.D. aptly describes Elderveld-Zuid: "A neighbourhood with plenty of greenery, easy to reach by public transport, and generally nice people living there." This combination of tranquillity and accessibility is what makes the neighbourhood attractive to many buyers.

However, Elderveld is not a homogeneous neighbourhood. Lucia, another resident, makes a clear distinction: she finds her own sub-area pleasant, but around the shopping centre she experiences a grimmer atmosphere, with nuisance from confused individuals and mobility scooters. That is honest information for buyers: the location within the neighbourhood matters. Elderveld-Noord and the quieter residential streets of Elderhof have a different character than the area around the neighbourhood shopping centre. For daily groceries, that shopping centre on Elderlaan is convenient: there are supermarkets and small shops within walking distance. Schools score slightly lower in resident ratings (6.2), but there are primary schools in the neighbourhood. For secondary education, residents rely on other parts of Arnhem.
Accessibility is one of Elderveld's strongest points. Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood to Arnhem city centre and Arnhem Centraal station, from where intercity trains depart towards Utrecht, Nijmegen and other cities. By car, the A325 is quickly reachable. Marco Philipsen mentions in his review that the municipality actively promotes involvement through information meetings and that there are few dark spots, which contributes to the sense of safety (score 7.2). The neighbourhood has a quiet character, although you sometimes hear sounds from the direction of GelreDome, as another resident reports. For those seeking more urban vibrancy, neighbourhoods like Spijkerkwartier or Arnhem city centre are a better choice. Those who prefer a quieter living environment on the east side of the city can also look at Presikhaaf-West. More information about municipal facilities and plans for the neighbourhood can be found on the Arnhem municipality website.
Which buyers is Elderveld a good choice for?
Elderveld mainly appeals to families and older buyers: the largest age group is 65-plus and there are relatively many families with children. The average purchase price of €388,135 is above the WOZ value, indicating that the market is not stagnant. First-time buyers with a limited budget can look at the lower end of the range, but should account for additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees. If buying is not feasible now, the rental homes in Elderveld offer an alternative to get to know the neighbourhood first.

The municipality does a lot to involve people with everything with information evenings, few dark spots so safe
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is very pleasant to live in. I do notice that I live in the nicest part of the neighbourhood myself. If you go more towards the shopping centre, you end up in a grim area and I don't feel very comfortable there. Many confused people, elderly people and mobility scooters causing nuisance. There have also been many attacks in my neighbourhood. Again, the area where I live is very nice, but the neighbourhood is starting to become increasingly grim.
Auto-translated to English by AIElderveld-zuid is a neighbourhood where you can see a lot of greenery. A neighbourhood that is easy to reach by public transport and where, on the whole, nice people live.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is relatively quiet, not often very noisy. Only sounds that come from other places (like from Gelredome). People are friendly, but there isn't a very strong bond. People won't quickly get together to do something. There are also many families living here, so there are children. There are several playgrounds in the neighbourhood. But some are already a bit outdated and could use a makeover.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, my neighbour is a real dictator because he interferes with everything and calls the police for no reason, but apart from that it's very cosy
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very quiet, yet super cosy to live in. The neighbours are always welcoming and there isn't a single day you leave the house without a smile. There is a lot of greenery, which is also very well maintained by the neighbourhood, giving me a clean and safe feeling in the area.
