Living in Rijkerswoerd-Oost, Arnhem
Rijkerswoerd-Oost is located in the southeast of Arnhem and has the character of a quiet, green residential neighbourhood that was developed in the 1980s and 1990s. The streets are spacious, there is a lot of greenery between the houses and car traffic is limited to the neighbourhood itself. Those who come to live here consciously choose peace and space, at a relatively short distance from the city.
The housing stock consists largely of semi-detached houses and detached houses, interspersed with terraced houses. The gardens are generally large, which partly explains why families with children form the largest household group. With 590 children under the age of fifteen, there is a clear family-oriented population composition. Primary schools are present in the immediate vicinity, including schools in the adjacent neighbourhoods of Rijkerswoerd. For daily groceries, residents usually drive to the nearby Kronenburg shopping centre, which is a few minutes' drive or bike ride away and has a full supermarket offering, including Albert Heijn and other shops.
The neighbourhood borders the countryside towards the Betuwe, making walking and cycling in the green directly possible. Sonsbeek Park and other larger parks are further away, but the immediate surroundings offer enough space for a daily stroll. Sports clubs in Arnhem-Zuid, including football and tennis clubs, are easily accessible.
