Buying a home in Gen. De Bonskazerne, Velp.
Gen. De Bonskazerne is a former military site that's slowly becoming a working neighbourhood—you're looking at conversion-era homes, a mix of new builds and sensitively restored barracks, and genuine space between neighbours. The place draws young families and people who want workshops or studios, partly because rent and purchase prices still feel honest compared to nearby towns. You're fifteen minutes from Nijmegen by car, close enough for work but far enough that you get actual quiet; the agricultural land around keeps it from feeling suburban.
