It is a busy, central part of town rather than a quiet residential suburb, with the feel of a city centre that is always ticking over.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. A SPAR supermarket is just around the corner, with an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away and an Aldi a five-minute walk. For schools, the Sint Adelbertusschool is a ten-minute walk, and the Murmellius Gymnasium is a similar distance for secondary education. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park is just around the corner for a bit of green. All of this sits within the municipality of Alkmaar, a town known for its cheese market and canals.

Experiences from Alkmaar
How residents experience their municipality
Nare buurt. Veel wantrouwen tussen de bewoners. Veel geluidsoverlast dag en nacht. Veel straatvuil. Mensen zetten vuil naast de ondergrondse afval containers. De angst regeert. Mensen spreken elkaar niet aan op gedrag. Voortuinen vol tegels. De huizen zijn oud en gehorig.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's every man for himself, no cleaning up, just making a mess, not looking out for each other or taking each other into consideration.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnsafe in the evenings
Auto-translated to English by AIAll facilities in the neighbourhood, nice neighbours, only shame about the youth causing unrest. And that the youth don't clean up their mess, so very unhygienic in the neighbourhood. Cleaning up a bit works wonders.

Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.
