Arnhemse Allee, Arnhem

Living in Arnhemse Allee

Arnhemse Allee is moderately urban — city amenities without the crush, and the housing is dominated by single-family houses (78%), which is what draws settlers rather than passers-through.

With just 3,209 residents per km², this is space by Dutch standards.

Arnhem combines affordable urban neighborhoods with direct access to the Veluwe and the German border. The fashion and energy sectors anchor local employment, and the city's hilly parks give some buurten views most Dutch cities simply don't have.

The housing market in Arnhemse Allee

At €318,000 average WOZ value, Arnhemse Allee ranks 35 out of 73 Arnhem neighborhoods on price, almost exactly the city's midpoint. For scale: Arnhem's cheapest buurt averages €192,000 and its most expensive €826,000, so Arnhemse Allee sits in the middle band of the city.

The direction of the market: between 2015 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €159,000 to €345,000, up 117% — faster than the city as a whole (+106%). WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

Ownership is split: 39% owner-occupied against 61% rental, including 31% social housing. Enough homes trade hands to give you comparable sales, but check what's actually for sale versus rented in the specific block you're eyeing — the mix can flip from one street to the next.

Who lives here

Demographically, Arnhemse Allee is dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (27% of its 1,030 residents), followed by over-65s at 27%. Households split into 40% singles and 28% families with children — a real mix rather than one lifestyle. The average household counts 1.9 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: incomes skew modest — 42% of households are in the lower national bracket.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 7 minutes' walk; dining out means a short trip: only 4 cafés or restaurants sit within a kilometer.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 10 min walk · GP 10 min · hospital 3.1 km · library 0.7 km · 1 cinema within 5 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.

Families and schools

For families: the nearest primary school is 8 minutes on foot; daycare is well covered (2 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 2-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the station is a 10-minute cycle, standard Dutch commuting range; a highway on-ramp 1.4 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; car ownership is moderate (0.9 per household).

Energy and running costs

91% of homes were built before 2000. Two identical-looking houses on the same street can differ by hundreds of euros a month once heating is counted — the energy label tells you which one you're looking at, and lenders increasingly price it into your mortgage too.

Before you bid in Arnhemse Allee

Before you bid in Arnhemse Allee: with many older residents, more homes will come to market here over the coming years than the recent past suggests — patience can pay.

None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
