What does a home cost in Wijk 00, Westervoort?
Wijk 00 is the only district of Westervoort and therefore encompasses the entire housing supply of this compact municipality on the IJssel. Of the 6,766 homes, 60% are owner-occupied, the remaining 40% are rental (of which 31% is social housing). The average WOZ value is €310,000, exactly equal to the municipal average. That sounds logical, because the district and municipality coincide here. If you look at the actual transaction prices of the past year, the picture is different: the average purchase price came to €481,015, with a range of €275,000 to €1,750,000. That difference with the WOZ value shows that buyers are paying well above the valuation. The average sold home had 146 m² of living space. A total of 33 homes changed hands. The supply consists largely of single-family homes, particularly terraced and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a smaller segment of apartments. See the current supply and asking prices at the top of this page.
Living in Wijk 00: village character between Arnhem and the floodplains
Westervoort is one of those places where people move to and then stay. The district scores an 8.0 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. Notably high scores are safety (8.6) and accessibility (8.6), followed by beauty (8.4) and amenities (8.4). Resident Paul sums it up succinctly: "always a good and pleasant atmosphere" and gives a 9.5. Sharon, who was born and raised here, calls it a "super neighbourhood" but also mentions a real problem: at 29, she can't find anything on the housing market and still lives with her parents. That says something about the scarcity here. Danique notes that the district is "very cosy," but that there are more older residents than young ones. That matches the figures: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (4,250 residents), and the 65-plus group is also well represented with 3,485. All resident reviews and district data for Wijk 00 can be found on the district page.
In terms of amenities, Westervoort is complete for a village of 15,150 residents. At Dorpsplein you will find an Albert Heijn and various specialist shops. There are several primary schools, including De Springplank and Het Kofschip, and for secondary education you go to Arnhem or Duiven. Sportpark De Pluimen offers space for football club RKHVV and tennis club De Eikelkamp. The Westervoortse Bos and the floodplains of the IJssel provide greenery right around the corner, which explains the score of 8.0 for green space.
Accessibility is a strong point. Via the N338 and the A12 you are within ten minutes of Arnhem city centre. Bus lines from Breng (lines 27 and 28) connect Westervoort with Arnhem Centraal station, from where you can quickly travel by train to Utrecht or Nijmegen. The various neighbourhoods each have their own character. In the old village centre you will find characteristic homes close to amenities. Broeklanden is a somewhat newer expansion district with many family homes. In De Leigraaf-De Steenderens you live on the edge of the village, close to greenery. And for those seeking space, the supply at the scattered houses around Westervoort is worth a look. More information about the municipality can be found on the Westervoort page and on the municipal website.
