Living in Lombok, Arnhem
Lombok is located in the southwest of Arnhem, nestled between the Rhine and the more urban Heijenoord neighbourhood. The neighbourhood has a quiet, somewhat secluded character by Arnhem standards: no busy shopping streets, but its own atmosphere that residents describe as green and manageable. The housing stock largely consists of homes from the 1950s and 1960s, with a mix of detached houses, semi-detached houses and some terraced houses. It is precisely these detached and semi-detached homes that give Lombok a more spacious, village-like feel that you find less often in denser Arnhem districts.
In terms of amenities, Lombok itself is modest: there is no own shopping centre or supermarket within walking distance. For daily groceries, residents rely on the surrounding neighbourhoods. Kronenburgpark, a short bike ride away, is a popular recreational area along the Rhine. For schools, primary schools are accessible by bike or on foot in the immediate vicinity, and secondary schools are easily found in the adjoining districts. Sports clubs and recreational facilities can be found in the broader area of Heijenoord/Lombok.
Accessibility by car is good: the A325 and the connection towards the A12 are quickly reachable. Arnhem Central Station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, making Lombok attractive for commuters. Several bus routes run through or past the neighbourhood towards the city centre. Cyclists benefit from relatively quiet streets and a direct route along the Rhine to the centre.
Residents particularly appreciate Lombok for its peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Lombok you will find all reviews and scores per category. One resident writes: "Lombok feels like a quiet village within the city, you hardly notice the hustle and bustle of Arnhem but you are close to it." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited range of amenities in the neighbourhood itself and the parking situation on the narrower streets. Compared to neighbouring community Heijenoord, Lombok is greener and quieter, but also less lively. And compared to Brouwerijweg en omgeving, Lombok has a more residential profile with less commercial activity on the streets. The population is relatively highly educated (50% highly educated) and the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, with also a substantial group of over-45s. Single-person households form the largest category (560 out of 868 homes), which fits the mix of young professionals and older singles that populate the neighbourhood.
Who is a home for sale in Lombok interesting for?
Lombok particularly attracts buyers seeking peace and space without completely letting go of the city. The larger homes and relatively green surroundings make the neighbourhood attractive for movers and established dual-income couples. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average sale price of €558,333 and a lower limit of €325,000, buying in Lombok is not an entry-level market. The limited number of transactions (12 in a year) also means you have to act quickly when something becomes available, and overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Seniors who want to live more spaciously in a quiet environment also fit the profile well. Those who want to explore renting as an alternative will find the current listings on the page rental homes in Lombok.

What residents say about Lombok
On the neighbourhood page of Lombok you will find resident reviews with scores on categories such as safety, greenery, accessibility and atmosphere. Residents are generally positive about the quiet location and the green appearance of the neighbourhood. A common sentiment: "You really have space to breathe here, the streets are wide and there is a lot of greenery, but for a sandwich or a carton of milk you still have to get on your bike." That lack of direct amenities is the most frequently mentioned point for improvement. Overall satisfaction is high among residents who have consciously chosen the peace of Lombok.
