Spijk: a dike village on the Rhine with little hustle and bustle and plenty of space
Living in Spijk means choosing a small dike village along the Rhine, on the border of the Liemers and the Gelderse Poort. With around 830 residents, almost everyone knows each other, and you can feel it. On the neighbourhood page of Spijk, residents indicate that the peace, space and green character are the biggest assets. One resident aptly writes that you can still go for a walk here in the evening without meeting anyone, but that the neighbours are there when you need them. Criticisms that come up are the limited range of facilities in the village itself and the dependence on the car for daily shopping.
In terms of facilities, Spijk is modest but not remote. The village has no supermarket within its boundaries; for daily shopping you drive to Lobith or Zevenaar. Primary education is available in the immediate vicinity, but for secondary education children rely on Zevenaar or Arnhem. For sports, there is the local football club and there are walking and cycling routes along the Rhine and through the Buitengebied Lobith/Spijk, an area popular with cyclists and nature lovers. The Rijnbandijk offers views of the river landscape and is for many residents the reason they came to live here.
Accessibility is reasonable for those used to the countryside. Spijk is located on the A15, which runs towards Arnhem and the Randstad. By car, you are in Zevenaar in about twenty minutes and in Arnhem in half an hour. Public transport is available via bus connections to Zevenaar and Lobith, but the frequency is limited; a car is practically indispensable. Those who also want to compare the surrounding villages can look at the supply in Babberich, Angerlo or Lathum, each with its own character within the municipality. More urban-oriented? Then the centre of Zevenaar offers more facilities within walking distance. The municipality of Zevenaar actively works on liveability in the smaller cores; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Zevenaar.
For whom is buying in Spijk a good choice?
Spijk mainly attracts movers and those aged 50 and over who consciously choose peace and space over urban convenience. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and that is no coincidence. For starters, buying a house in Spijk is difficult: the supply is limited and the average transaction price of almost €465,000 is high. Those looking for a home with many square metres and a garden will get more for their money here than in the city, but also count on additional costs such as transfer tax (2%) and notary fees. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Spijk as an alternative.
