Living in Hummelo en Keppel: neighbourliness and green tranquillity, but expect sparse amenities
Anyone looking for a home in Hummelo en Keppel is consciously choosing peace, space and a close-knit community. The neighbourhood consists of a handful of small cores and scattered hamlets in the Achterhoek, surrounded by a patchwork landscape, hedgerows and the IJssel in the background. Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.6 on Buurtje.nl, with notably high scores for safety (10.0), community (9.0), green space (9.0) and beauty (9.0). One resident describes it as: "A quiet, friendly, easy-going village. The people are very friendly and there is still a sense of neighbourliness here." That feeling of mutual involvement is something you cannot buy in a city.
The downside is equally clear: amenities score a 5.0 and accessibility a 6.0. The same resident is honest: there is no supermarket, no bakery. There is a primary school, a community centre and a snack bar at weekends. For daily shopping you drive to Doetinchem or Zevenaar, both about ten to fifteen minutes by car. There is no direct train connection; the nearest stations are Doetinchem and Zevenaar. Public transport is limited; having your own car is not a luxury here but a necessity. The connection to the A348 towards Arnhem and the A18 towards Doetinchem does make the region easily accessible by car.
Within the neighbourhood there are clear differences. The cores of Hummelo and Hoog-Keppel each have their own character, while hamlets such as Laag-Keppel and Drempt are even quieter. The scattered buildings around the cores, such as Verspreide huizen Hummelo, offer the most rural living environments. On the neighbourhood page of Hummelo en Keppel you can read more about the liveability scores per category and the full resident reviews.
For which buyers is buying a home in Hummelo en Keppel a good choice?
