Living between the Veluwe and Arnhem: what makes Schaarsbergen so different

Schaarsbergen is nestled between the Veluwezoom National Park and the city of Arnhem, and you notice that as soon as you walk around. The neighbourhood has about 2,350 residents and exudes tranquillity. Wide avenues, large plots, little traffic. The residents describe it best themselves: Elise van Beers gives the neighbourhood a 9.5 and writes that it is very quiet, but also cosy because many acquaintances live nearby. Hannah Pavel emphasises the togetherness combined with the peace you have as a resident. On the Schaarsbergen neighbourhood page you will find all reviews and sub-scores, including a perfect 10 for safety, green spaces and community spirit. The overall resident score is 8.9 out of 10.

Facilities are deliberately kept limited. There is no supermarket in the neighbourhood itself. For daily shopping you drive to Arnhem-Noord or the city centre. Children go to primary schools in the surrounding neighbourhoods, as Schaarsbergen has no school of its own. The scores for education (7.5) and facilities (8.0) reflect that honestly. What the neighbourhood does offer is direct access to vast nature. The Veluwezoom is literally around the corner, with walking and cycling routes towards the Posbank and Rheden. Sports clubs and riding schools in the area match the character of the neighbourhood. The sub-areas Bakenberg, N.O. van Schaarsbergen and West van Schaarsbergen each have their own atmosphere, from more wooded and secluded to slightly more accessible towards the city.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores an 8.0. By car, you can quickly reach the motorway via the A12 and A50, and Arnhem city centre is about a ten-minute drive away. Arnhem Centraal is the nearest station, with direct connections to Utrecht, Nijmegen and beyond. Bus services run from the neighbourhood towards Arnhem, although the frequency is limited. A car is not a luxury but a necessity for most residents.

For which buyers is Schaarsbergen realistic?

Living in Schaarsbergen is reserved for movers and buyers with a substantial budget. With an average sale price of over a million euros and limited supply, this is not a market for first-time buyers. Overbidding is common, and supply is limited: only a handful of homes change hands each year. In addition to the purchase price, allow for transfer tax (2% for owner-occupiers above the first-time buyer exemption), notary fees and any renovation costs for older villas. If buying a home in Schaarsbergen is not yet financially feasible at this time, you can look at rental homes in Schaarsbergen as an intermediate step.
