Buying a home in Doorwerthsestraat, Heelsum.
Doorwerthsestraat runs through farmland on Heelsum's eastern edge, where you'll find solid rural homes on good-sized plots rather than cramped suburban rows. Your neighbours are a mix of long-standing families and newcomers who chose the space and quiet over proximity to shops. The Gelderse Vallei cycling routes pass nearby, and you're genuinely close to forests—you can walk into them in minutes. Living here means trading town convenience for real countryside, but Arnhem is only 15 minutes by car if you need it.
