Living in West van Schaarsbergen, Arnhem
West van Schaarsbergen is one of the most remote and quiet corners of Arnhem. The neighbourhood borders the Veluwe and is nestled between forested area and the estate zone around Schaarsbergen. Those who live here consciously choose peace, space and nature, not urban liveliness around the corner. The homes are predominantly large, detached houses on spacious plots, some with a rural character. Construction periods vary, but many properties date from the second half of the twentieth century, with the occasional older villa or country house.
Resident Elise van Beers gives the neighbourhood a 9.5 and describes it as follows: "Our neighbourhood is very quiet and many other people live here too, which makes it very cosy." This feeling of tranquillity combined with a close-knit living environment is also reflected in the resident score of 9.5 out of 10, with perfect scores for safety, accessibility, community, green spaces, beauty and amenities. Only education scores slightly lower, at 7.0. This is a point of attention for families with school-age children.
In terms of amenities, West van Schaarsbergen is not self-sufficient. There are no supermarkets or shops in the neighbourhood itself. For daily shopping, you drive to Koningsweg or to Arnhem-Noord, where you will find an Albert Heijn and other shops, among others. The same applies to schools: primary and secondary schools are located in the surrounding districts, such as in Schaarsbergen itself or in adjacent parts of Arnhem. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are available in the wider area, and the immediate proximity of the Hoge Veluwe makes walking, cycling and horse riding obvious activities.
Accessibility by car is good via the N224 and the connection to the A12 and A50 can be reached within a few minutes. Arnhem Central is about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away. Public transport connections to the neighbourhood are more limited; there are a few bus routes towards Arnhem, but the frequency is lower than in more urban areas. Those without a car will notice this here.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Bakenberg and N.O. van Schaarsbergen, West van Schaarsbergen has an even quieter and more remote character.
