Living in Monnikenhuizen: green, quiet yet right in the city
Monnikenhuizen has a character that you don't find in many Arnhem neighbourhoods. The neighbourhood borders Sonsbeek Park and Immerlo Park, meaning residents literally live within walking distance of large city parks. Resident Martijn aptly describes it as "spacious, quiet and at one with nature in the middle of the city." That feeling is right: the avenues are wide, the buildings varied, and greenery is everywhere. On the neighbourhood page for Monnikenhuizen, residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.4 out of 10. Housing scores notably high at 8.7, which aligns with the relatively high WOZ values. Safety scores an 8.0. Less strong are amenities and cleanliness, both at 6.7.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is not abundant, but the essentials are present. On Velperweg you will find shops and supermarkets, and Arnhem city centre is about ten minutes away by bike. For schools, primary and secondary schools are accessible in and around the neighbourhood; residents give education a 7.7. The Arnhemse Allee area borders Monnikenhuizen directly and has a slightly different character with more urban amenities. Klarenbeek is also nearby and is quieter and greener in nature. Resident Willem points out a practical drawback: few parking spaces and many cars on the streets. That is something to consider if you are looking for a home to buy with parking needs.
Accessibility is reasonably good, although there is no direct bus connection to all parts of the city. Arnhem Central Station is about two kilometres away, reachable by bike or via several bus routes along Velperweg. Via the A12 and A348 you can quickly leave the region. Resident Willem mentions as a downside that there is no direct connection with Presikhaaf, which means a detour for some commuters. For those specifically looking for a connection with Presikhaaf, you could also look at Presikhaaf-West or Presikhaaf-Oost, where prices are generally lower. The municipality of Arnhem offers more information about mobility plans via arnhem.nl.
