Living in Hamelakkers, Wageningen
Hamelakkers is located in the southeast of Wageningen, wedged between the Veluwe and the built-up area. The neighbourhood has a green, quiet character that clearly differs from the more urban parts of Wageningen. When you drive through it for the first time, you immediately notice how wide the streets are and how much space there is between the homes. Many plots have large gardens, sometimes bordering directly on wooded greenery. The housing largely dates from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of detached homes, semi-detached homes and a limited number of terraced houses. There is hardly any new construction; the neighbourhood is fully built up.
The neighbourhood is quiet but not isolated. Primary schools are within walking distance, and for daily shopping residents can go to the supermarkets on the Tarthorst or in the centre of Wageningen, about ten minutes away by bike. The centre of Wageningen offers a varied range of shops, restaurants and cultural facilities. For larger purchases or hospital visits, Ede is easily accessible, about a quarter of an hour's drive away. Sports facilities are plentiful in the area: football, tennis and athletics are represented at clubs in the immediate vicinity of the neighbourhood.
In terms of accessibility by car, Hamelakkers connects well via the Mansholtlaan and the Droevendaalsesteeg to the N781 towards Ede and the A12. Wageningen does not have its own train station, but bus connections take travellers to Ede-Wageningen station, from where intercity trains run towards Utrecht and Arnhem. The bicycle is the dominant mode of transport in Wageningen anyway, and from Hamelakkers both the centre and the Wageningen University campus are easily accessible via separate cycle paths.
The population composition says something about the character of the neighbourhood: the largest group of residents is 65-plus (390 of the 920 inhabitants), followed by the 45-65 age group. This gives Hamelakkers a mature, stable appearance. Residents appreciate the peace, space and greenery of the neighbourhood. One resident writes: "You really live in the greenery here, but you are at the market in the centre within ten minutes. That is a combination you don't find everywhere." Criticisms that come up concern the limited walking distance to amenities for those who do not use a bike, and the fact that the neighbourhood has little dynamism for younger families with children.
