Buying a home in Poort van Midden-Gelderland Noord 1/2/3, Heteren.
Heteren is where commuters actually choose to stay rather than sleep through, mostly because the homes are solid—detached and semi-detached houses dominate, with gardens that give you real breathing room. You're on the edge of farmland and river territory, so your weekends involve nature trails and the Rhine nearby, not traffic noise. The schools work well, families cluster here intentionally, and getting to Arnhem or the Veluwe takes 20 minutes. Parking and space feel like luxuries that don't cost extra.
