Living in Huissen: what you really need to know as a buyer
Huissen is a former fortified town that has grown into the largest settlement in Lingewaard, with nearly 19,800 residents. It has a character all its own that you can't simply replicate: a compact, lively centre with shops along the Langestraat, a weekly market, cafés and a library. Residents on Buurtje.nl give Huissen a 7.3 out of 10. The highest sub-scores are for safety (8.2) and housing (8.0), indicating that people here are satisfied with their homes and feel safe. Resident Odette sums it up well: "We moved to Huissen thinking: we won't stay long. But now, 28 years later, it's hard to find a better place." On the Huissen district page you can read all the reviews and neighbourhood data.
In terms of amenities, Huissen has several primary schools (including De Bem and Het Startblok), supermarkets (Albert Heijn and Aldi on the edge of the centre), GPs and sports clubs such as football club RKHVV and tennis club De Bongerd. Park Lingezegen, the large landscape park between Huissen and Arnhem, is a huge asset for walkers and cyclists. In the newer neighbourhood of Loovelden, much more green space has been added in recent years. One resident writes about this: "Because the municipality and the water board want to turn it into a kind of nature reserve, there are now places with much more nature. Really well done."
Accessibility scores the lowest in the reviews at 6.6, and that's fair. Huissen has no train station. You rely on bus routes towards Arnhem (line 33, about 20 minutes) and Nijmegen. By car, via the A325 you can reach Arnhem Central in ten minutes and via the A15 you are quickly on the motorway towards Utrecht or Germany. Cycling to Arnhem is quite doable, about 15 minutes to the southern neighbourhoods. But if you have to travel by public transport daily, that is a real downside. Dog mess on the street is mentioned by several residents as an annoyance, as is the maintenance of waterways. Not dealbreakers, but part of the honest picture. Those looking for homes for sale in other parts of the municipality can also look at the supply in Bemmel or the smaller Gendt.
For which buyers is Huissen a good choice?
With 3,160 households with children, Huissen is clearly a family neighbourhood, and the spacious single-family homes in areas such as Zilverkamp and Johannahoeve fit that profile. Upsizers moving from Arnhem or Nijmegen looking for more space without leaving the city entirely feel at home here. First-time buyers should take into account the average purchase price of over €555,000, although at the lower end of the market there are homes from €275,000. Also factor in transfer tax (2% or 0% for first-time buyers under certain conditions) and notary costs. Buying an apartment in Huissen is possible, but the supply is more limited than for single-family homes. Those who want more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Huissen as an alternative. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Lingewaard.

We came to live in Huissen with the idea: we won't stay here long. But now: 28 years later, it's hard to find a better place and house. So Huissen is not so bad after all. Nice centre, park Lingezegen. And Arnhem within cycling distance. And Nijmegen also nearby. So Huissen is GREAT
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen we first lived in Loovelden, it was a real new-build neighbourhood. Good houses but lots of stone, stone, stone. Because the municipality of Lingewaard, the water board and Arnhem want to turn it into a kind of nature area, there are now places with much more nature. Really well done.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat house. Water at the doorstep. Plenty of variety in the surroundings. I only miss a train. And many dog owners let their dogs poop everywhere and don't clean it up. Dog poop is really a problem. And the water needs to be cleaned or dredged more often by Rijkswaterstaat.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood, lots of families with young children. Gardens all well oriented towards the sun. Sometimes a bit harder to reach, but not too difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AINice people, plenty of amenities, nature and quiet neighbourhood. Lots of playgrounds and shops.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood. Cycling distance from the centre. And cycling distance from Arnhem. I only miss forest.
Auto-translated to English by AIA quiet neighbourhood where few changes are expected. Decent houses. Gardens often have too much paving. Water nearby (not much maintenance done on it). Safety: you can still leave your bike outside and hang clothes on the line here. The community is almost all "import". Houses are not old, so reasonably good.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a nice house. With a wadi in front of us. Beautiful, really. Only the maintenance by the water board and municipality is not so good. It's now completely overgrown and the water is full of sludge. Otherwise, nice neighbours and conveniently close to Arnhem.
