## Dukenburg: Nine Neighborhoods from the Sixties

Dukenburg has about 22,500 residents (2025) divided into nine neighborhoods: Aldenhof, Meijhorst, Malvert, Lankforst, Weezenhof, Tolhuis, Zwanenveld, Staddijk, and Vogelzang. Aldenhof was the first. The first residents moved in in February 1967. Meijhorst followed in 1968, Tolhuis in 1971. In ten years, a pasture grew into a district for tens of thousands of residents.

73% of the homes in Dukenburg were built between 1965 and 1975. This is reflected in the streetscape. Gallery flats and terraced houses in a spacious layout with lots of greenery. Footpaths between blocks, playgrounds on every corner, rows of trees along wide streets. This is the kind of urban planning that was considered progressive in the 1960s and now has its own quality: space, greenery, and clarity.

The 60% share of rental homes makes Dukenburg the district with the most rental properties in Nijmegen. Apartments, gallery flats, and terraced houses become available regularly. Rental prices are below the city average. For tenants for whom affordability is the primary criterion, Dukenburg is the logical choice.

## Dukenburg Shopping Center: The Heart of Two Neighborhoods

Dukenburg Shopping Center serves both Dukenburg and Lindenholt. It opened in 1976 and is strategically located next to Nijmegen Dukenburg NS station. Supermarkets, shops, and daily amenities in one place. The shopping center will be redeveloped in the coming years, including around 500 new homes, an additional supermarket, a modern library, and more greenery. Dukenburg's center will be upgraded without losing its function.

The station makes the shopping center more than just a local amenity. Sprinter trains to Nijmegen Centraal run several times an hour. You can reach the main station in a few minutes. For tenants who commute by public transport, the combination of living in Dukenburg and traveling via the station is a serious advantage.

## Lindenholt: Ten Years Younger, More Owner-Occupied

Lindenholt has about 14,530 residents (2025) in seven neighborhoods: Westkanaaldijk, Neerbosch-West, 't Acker, Bijsterhuizen, De Kamp, 't Broek, and Kerkenbos. The district was built in the 1980s and 1990s. This makes Lindenholt an average of ten to fifteen years younger than Dukenburg. The difference is visible: more varied facades, more semi-detached houses, fewer gallery flats.

The share of rental homes in Lindenholt is 39%, significantly lower than in Dukenburg. The district is more focused on owner-occupied properties, and homes are generally more expensive. Those looking to rent in Lindenholt are looking for a single-family home with a garden. Apartments and upper-story flats are more limited here than in Dukenburg.

The character of Lindenholt is suburban. Wide streets, parking in front of the door, playgrounds in every neighborhood. It is a district for families seeking space without leaving the city. The distance to the center is greater than from Dukenburg, but the shopping center and the station are within cycling distance.

## Green as Urban Planning

Dukenburg is greener than one might expect based on its construction year. The district was designed with a continuous green structure connecting all nine neighborhoods. Footpaths, tree-lined meadows, playgrounds, and water features form a network that runs throughout the district. Staddijk City Park is the largest green area.

Lindenholt has the same green layout, but in a slightly different form. The plots are larger, the gardens deeper, the private green space more generous. It's the difference between a neighborhood that has planted greenery and one that has integrated greenery into its design.
