Living in Schrijvershoek, Zevenaar
Schrijvershoek is a quiet, somewhat ageing residential neighbourhood on the western side of Zevenaar. Most homes were built in the 1960s and early 1970s, which is reflected in the architecture: predominantly terraced houses and semi-detached houses with a modest but functional street profile. The street names refer to writers and poets, giving the neighbourhood its own recognisable character.
The residents have been there for a long time. As one resident puts it: "Many have lived in their homes for a long time, so there is little turnover. The average age has risen considerably over the years." That also matches the figures: the largest age group is 65-plus (670 of the 2,250 residents), and single-person households are the most common. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, subdued character. No busy playgrounds or school traffic, but also little nuisance.
In terms of amenities, Schrijvershoek is well situated. The centre of Zevenaar is within walking distance or a short bike ride, with supermarkets, shops and the weekly market. Primary schools are nearby, although the neighbourhood itself is not the most child-rich. Those looking for green spaces will find them in the surrounding streets and in the nearby parks on the edge of the district. The neighbourhood score for greenery is 8.0, which residents confirm.
Accessibility scores well: an 8.5 from residents. Zevenaar has its own train station with connections to Arnhem and Doetinchem, and via the A12 and A18 you are quickly on the motorway. This also makes the neighbourhood interesting for people who work in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region but want a bit more peace than in the city itself.
Compared to neighbourhoods like Centrum or Zonnemaat, Schrijvershoek is somewhat more traditional and less dynamic. Newer neighbourhoods like Lentemorgen I attract young families, while Schrijvershoek appeals more to those seeking peace and stability. On the neighbourhood main page of Schrijvershoek you will find all resident figures, scores per category and the full reviews.
Who is a home for sale in Schrijvershoek interesting for?
Schrijvershoek best suits movers and seniors looking for a quiet, well-organised neighbourhood with good accessibility and little hassle.

Starters can get a foot in the door here, although the supply is limited and variable. Keep in mind that the number of transactions is low: 15 in a year, so you need to be able to act quickly when something becomes available. Those who are unsure between buying and renting can also look at the rental properties in Schrijvershoek, of which there is a wide range.

Auto-translated to English by AIA quiet and pleasant neighbourhood. It is nice to live here and there are good contacts with fellow residents. The average age is probably a bit higher than in other districts. Most houses were built in the 1960s and early 1970s. There is a good balance between owner-occupied and rental homes. The main amenities are also present, such as a square and a grass field. For young people it may not be enough, but they are usually found in the city centre and entertain themselves more with their mobile phones. Job seekers will usually find a job outside the neighbourhood because there are few businesses in the Schrijvershoek district. Hopefully the municipality of Zevenaar has no big plans for this neighbourhood and it may stay as it is now! Lifra.
