Buying a home in De Ploen, Duiven.
De Ploen is where you'll find solid, mostly 1970s-80s family homes with decent gardens on quiet streets. Your neighbours are Dutch families who've been here twenty years; the vibe is settled, not trendy. Arnhem's just across the Rhine, which means you're close enough for work or culture but far enough to breathe. The local shops and cafés cluster around the main streets, and there's a proper school scene for kids. It's the kind of neighbourhood where people know each other without it feeling small-towny.
