Living in Spijkerbuurt, Arnhem

The Spijkerbuurt is one of the most lively and diverse neighbourhoods in Arnhem. It is a densely built, urban neighbourhood with narrow streets full of pre-war architecture, much of it from the period 1890-1930. Think high floors, decorative brickwork and bay windows. The atmosphere is best described as young, cultural and a bit quirky. That is no coincidence: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years (1,505 of the 3,390 residents) and 40% of residents are highly educated. There are also many single-person households, as many as 1,925 of the total. It is a neighbourhood of starters, young professionals and students, not of large families.

In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. On the Spijkerstraat itself you will find a mix of small shops, cafés and restaurants. For daily groceries, there is an Albert Heijn on the Steenstraat and a Jumbo a bit further towards the centre. The Spijkerkwartier has an active community centre and there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, such as the Arnhemse Montessorischool. Park Sonsbeek is within walking distance and for many residents it is the place to go running, walking or just to find some peace. Sports club ATC '65 (tennis) and various yoga studios are just around the corner.

Accessibility is excellent. Arnhem Central Station can be reached in ten minutes by bike or with bus line 3. From the station you have direct trains to Utrecht (30 min), Nijmegen (15 min) and the Randstad. By car, you can quickly reach the A325 and A12 via the Nelson Mandelabrug. Parking is a well-known pain point: paid parking has been introduced and spaces are scarce, especially in the evenings.

Residents appreciate the Spijkerbuurt for its central location and character. "The atmosphere on the Spijkerstraat is unique, nowhere in Arnhem will you find such a mix of culture and cosiness," writes a resident in a review. At the same time, there is criticism of noise pollution and the crowds at weekends due to hospitality venues. Compared to the neighbouring Boulevardwijk, which is quieter and greener, in the Spijkerbuurt you consciously choose urban liveliness. The neighbourhood around the Hommelstraat offers a similar atmosphere but with a bit more space.

Does a home for sale in the Spijkerbuurt suit you?

Buying a home in the Spijkerbuurt is especially interesting for starters and young professionals who want to live centrally and enjoy urban hustle and bustle.
