Living in Heemradenwijk: a quiet neighbourhood with an older population and a recognisable community feel
Heemradenwijk is not a neighbourhood that stands out for trendy coffee shops or a vibrant nightlife.

The largest population group consists of those aged 65 and over, accounting for over 870 of the 2,710 residents.

Residents on the neighbourhood page of Heemradenwijk particularly appreciate the peace and accessibility of daily amenities.
