What to consider when buying in Melkweide
Pros:

- Good access to the A15 and A16 motorways; commuting to Arnhem, Nijmegen or further afield is straightforward.
- Schools (primary and secondary) are within walking or short cycling distance.
- Larger plots and detached homes are the norm here, so you get space and privacy without premium prices.
