Living in Hoogmeer, Wijchen

Hoogmeer is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the western side of Wijchen kern, recognisable by its wide streets, front gardens and low building density. The neighbourhood was developed in the 1970s and 1980s and bears that stamp: the homes are solid but sometimes require modernisation, and the layout of the streets exudes the planned design of that period. This also has advantages: spacious plots, plenty of public green space and a clear structure.

Is a home in Hoogmeer right for you?

Hoogmeer mainly appeals to movers and families looking for peace, space and greenery without being far from the city. The average purchase price of nearly €394,000 makes the neighbourhood less accessible for first-time buyers, although the lower end of the market (from €285,000) still offers some room. Keep in mind that supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold each year, meaning you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Bidding above the WOZ value is the norm here.
