Risdam-Zuid is a largely residential area with mostly single-family homes (76%) and a mix of ages. The population of 2,085 is fairly evenly spread, with a slight tilt towards the 45-65 age group. Two residents have reviewed the neighbourhood, and their experiences are mixed. One says: "A lot of nuisance, especially at night. Loudly talking youths and dealers/cars in the parking lot.. a lot of rubbish on pavements and in bushes." Another describes it as a "Criminal rotten neighbourhood" with "lots of nuisance and loitering youths." These are strong words, but with only two reviews, they may not reflect the whole picture.

About De Huesmolen 81, Hoorn
At €265,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the eight homes currently for sale in Risdam-Zuid and 23% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €344,875. However, it's also smaller than average (54 m² vs 101 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,907, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,660 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The apartment has an energy label B, which is efficient. In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes have label B, so it's in line with the local stock. You can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower.
Based on two resident reviews, there are concerns about nuisance at night, loitering youths, and litter. One review mentions 'loudly talking youths and dealers/cars in the parking lot' and 'a lot of rubbish'. The other calls it a 'criminal rotten neighbourhood'. However, with only two reviews, this may not represent the entire area. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 128, but without a per-capita figure, it's hard to compare.
The Albert Heijn supermarket is just around the corner (112 m). A park or public garden is 400 m away, and a library and restaurant are both 500 m away. Primary schools are within a ten-minute walk: Christelijke Basisschool De Rank at 903 m and TVH Montessorischool de Flierefluiter at 1,058 m. The train station is 2.4 km away, so you'd need a bike or bus.
At 54 m², this apartment is 47% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 101 m². It's a compact two-bedroom home, typical of apartments built in the 1980s. If you need more space, other homes in Risdam-Zuid are larger, but they also come with higher price tags.
This is an apartment built in 1980. The entire neighbourhood was developed between 1970 and 1990, so the construction style and layout are consistent with that era.
