Living in Ressen, Nijmegen
Ressen is a relatively young expansion neighbourhood on the north side of Nijmegen, on the border with the Betuwe. The neighbourhood was largely built from the 1990s and early 2000s, with a clearly planned layout: wide streets, plenty of greenery in public spaces, spacious plots and homes with gardens. The vast majority of buildings consist of semi-detached houses, terraced houses and detached homes. Those looking here will not find nineteenth-century canal houses or 1970s porch flats, but a neat, orderly residential area designed for families.
And there are plenty of families. With over 1,750 residents in the 25 to 45 age group and 1,250 children under fifteen, Ressen is one of the youngest neighbourhoods in Nijmegen. Resident SN describes it aptly: "Great for families, but not much else to do yet. Quiet and tidy on the streets and lots of kids." That picture fits. The neighbourhood exudes tranquillity, there is little nuisance, and safety scores remarkably high among residents: a 9.0 on the resident score. Another resident simply writes: "safe and young, no crime ever happens."
In terms of facilities, Ressen is honestly not yet a fully self-sufficient neighbourhood. There is a primary school in the immediate vicinity, but for more extensive daily shopping, shops or catering, you have to rely on the nearby centre of Lent or the shopping centre in Lent-Oost. Ressen borders the Waalstranden area, which provides beautiful walking and cycling opportunities along the river. Lingezegen Park, a large recreational area between Arnhem and Nijmegen, is within cycling distance.
Accessibility by car is good: via the A15 and A325 you quickly reach the motorway, and the connection to the centre of Nijmegen takes about ten to fifteen minutes by car. Public transport is somewhat weaker, which explains the resident score of 7.0 for accessibility. Buses run towards Nijmegen city centre and Nijmegen station, but the frequency is not always high. Cycling to the centre is a realistic option and takes about twenty minutes.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Lent and Oosterhout, Ressen has a quieter, more secluded character. Lent has more shops and its own NS station, while Ressen is deliberately a bit further from the hustle and bustle. For some buyers, that is precisely the reason to look here. More background on the neighbourhood, all sub-scores and full resident reviews can be found on the neighbourhood page of Ressen.
Who is a home for sale in Ressen interesting for?
Ressen is primarily a neighbourhood for families with children who are looking for space, peace and safety and are willing to pay a hefty price for it. With an average selling price of over €668,000 and an entry price from €475,000, this is not a neighbourhood for starters on a limited budget. Movers who want to make the step from a smaller home or a busier part of the city to more space and greenery fit in well here. Be honest with yourself about the limited facilities on site: if you want to walk to a supermarket or pub every day, you'd better look at Nijmegen-Centrum or Nijmegen-Oost. If you are unsure between buying and renting, you can also check the supply of rental homes in Ressen for orientation.
