Anyone considering living in Heijen chooses a village with character. It is not an anonymous commuter district, but a community where people know each other.

Heijen borders the Meuse and therefore has a lot of green space in the immediate vicinity. The Heijensebos is a popular walking and cycling area, and the neighbourhood Heijensebos is therefore one of the most attractive residential areas within the village.

Primary education is available in the village, which is a practical advantage for families with young children. Sports clubs are also present: football club SV Heijen is a fixture in village life.
In terms of accessibility, Heijen scores surprisingly well. The A77 is a short distance away, meaning you can drive to Nijmegen in about 25 minutes and to Venlo in about 30 minutes. Bus connections run towards Gennep and Nijmegen, although a car is handy for most residents. There is no own train station, but Gennep station is a few minutes' drive away.
