Living in Elst centrum Zuidzijde, Overbetuwe

Elst centrum Zuidzijde is the neighbourhood where the village character of Elst is most palpable. You are within walking distance of the Dorpsstraat and the shopping area around the Dorpsplein, with supermarkets such as an Albert Heijn and various local shops. This central convenience attracts residents who want everything close at hand, but it also means the neighbourhood is livelier during the day than the quieter neighbourhoods on the edges of Elst.

The housing stock in this part of Elst is varied. You will find older terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, interspersed with some apartment complexes and occasionally a detached house on a larger plot. This also explains the wide price range on the owner-occupied market. Streets like the Molenstraat and the area around the Raadhuisplein give the neighbourhood a recognisable central-village face.

Accessibility is one of its strongest assets. Elst station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Arnhem (about 10 minutes) and Nijmegen (about 15 minutes).
