Living in Loovelden, Lingewaard
Loovelden is a relatively young neighbourhood on the edge of Huissen, built in phases from the 1990s onwards. It is a typical expansion district with spacious plots, wide streets and plenty of greenery between the houses. Driving through it for the first time, you see a neighbourhood that does not deny its new-build past: straight lines, parking spaces in front of the door and lots of brickwork. But those who live there longer notice that the neighbourhood is gaining character. Resident Odette Westmijze puts it aptly: "When we first lived in Loovelden it was a real new-build neighbourhood. Good houses but lots of brick brick brick. 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." This development is visible: along the banks of the Rhine and in the adjacent areas, nature is prominently present, and Park Lingezegen is a short distance away.
The neighbourhood borders open water, which is a clear asset for those seeking peace and space. Yet there are also critical notes. The same resident profile points to dog poo as a recurring annoyance and to the maintenance of the water: "The water should be cleaned or deepened more often by Rijkswaterstaat." Minor irritations, but they say something about the level of maintenance that residents expect.
In terms of amenities, Loovelden is not an independent shopping neighbourhood. For daily groceries, shops and catering, you rely on the centre of Huissen, which is within cycling distance. There you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy and the cosy historic core. Primary schools are nearby, although education scores a 6.8 in resident reviews, slightly lower than other categories. Amenities as a whole score a 6.3, which honestly indicates that you cannot rely solely on the neighbourhood itself for a full range of facilities.
Accessibility is a mixed story. By bike, Arnhem is reachable, a plus point mentioned by several residents. Nijmegen is also nearby. But a train station is lacking, and some residents clearly miss that. By car, you connect via the N839 and surrounding roads to the A15 and A325. The neighbourhood rating for accessibility stands at 6.7, reflecting the reality: fine for motorists and cyclists, less ideal for those dependent on public transport.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Zilverkamp 1e fase and Zilverkamp 2e fase-Rietbaan, Loovelden has a slightly higher WOZ value and a more varied housing mix. Centrum Huissen offers more liveliness and amenities within walking distance, but less space and tranquillity. Those who want to compare more outside Huissen can also look at Bemmel or Gendt as alternatives within the municipality. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of municipality Lingewaard.
Who is a home for sale in Loovelden interesting for?

Those who doubt whether buying is the right time now can also view the rental homes in Loovelden as a temporary alternative. Be prepared for a competitive market: supply is limited and prices are structurally above the municipal average.

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 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.
