Living in Nieuwe Kadekwartier, Arnhem

Nieuwe Kadekwartier is a compact, urban neighbourhood on the north side of Arnhemse Broek, directly bordering the Rhine. The name refers to its location along the former quay structure, and you notice that sense of a neighbourhood with its own identity as soon as you walk around. The buildings largely consist of multi-family homes and smaller apartment complexes from the second half of the twentieth century, interspersed with a few terraced houses. It is not a neighbourhood with wide avenues and large gardens, but rather a densely built, lively environment where people live close together and appreciate that.

The population composition is telling: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (385 out of 820 residents), and single-person households are the most common household type. This fits the urban character of the neighbourhood. The education level is relatively high, with 38% highly educated, and the average income of €35,900 is just above the Arnhem average of €35,600. This is not a deprived area, but neither is it an exclusive district.

In terms of amenities, Nieuwe Kadekwartier benefits from its proximity to Arnhem city centre. You can do your grocery shopping at nearby supermarkets towards Kronenburgsingel or the centre. For schools, there are primary schools within cycling distance in the wider Arnhemse Broek area, and secondary education in Arnhem is easily accessible. Sonsbeek Park is a short bike ride away, and the Rijnkade offers space for a walk along the water.

Accessibility is a strong point. Arnhem Centraal is about a ten-minute bike ride away, and even quicker by bus. Via the A12 and A325, you can quickly connect to the motorway network. For people who travel daily to Nijmegen, Utrecht or the Randstad, the location is favourable. The centre of Arnhem is also easily reachable by bike.

Residents are notably positive about their neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood page for Nieuwe Kadekwartier, there is an overall score of 10 out of 10, based on resident experiences. Nisa describes it as: "A very social neighbourhood. We are together every day and we help each other a lot, everyone is there for each other, everyone is happy with their home and neighbourhood." This image of mutual involvement comes up more often when you talk to residents. It is not an anonymous flat neighbourhood, but a place where people know each other.

Compared to neighbouring areas such as Statenkwartier or Van Verschuerbuurt, Nieuwe Kadekwartier has a slightly more compact, more water-bound character. Those looking for more space can also look at owner-occupied homes in Arnhemse Broek as a whole. The atmosphere in Nieuwe Kadekwartier is closer and more intimate than in larger districts such as Presikhaaf-West.

Who is a home in Nieuwe Kadekwartier interesting for?

Given the average sale price of over €530,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood in the classic sense. Those who want to buy here usually need existing equity or a substantial income. The neighbourhood mainly attracts young dual-income couples and movers who want to live in an urban setting with a close-knit community. Families with children are less represented, partly due to the limited supply of larger single-family homes. Seniors, however, can find smaller, ground-floor homes here that suit a later stage of life.

Honestly, the supply of owner-occupied homes in this neighbourhood is scarce. With only 17% owner-occupied homes in the stock, few become available, and when something does come up, it goes quickly. Overbidding is realistic in this segment. Those who are more flexible can also look at rental homes in Nieuwe Kadekwartier as an alternative or temporary solution.
