NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hof van Luxemburg sits in a quiet part of De Mare, a neighbourhood that has seen better days according to some long-term residents. At 97 m² with an A energy label, it is larger and more efficient than most homes in the area.

De Mare is a densely built-up area with a mix of flats and some houses. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident says: "Pleasant neighbourhood to live in, often rubbish is dumped, people think that bulky waste is collected every day. Furthermore, occasionally some loitering youths by the bridges but I haven't been bothered by that yet. Schools within walking distance, and plenty of green spaces." Another, who has lived here for 43 years, notes: "It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice." The neighbourhood has many one-person households and a relatively older population. For more context, see the neighbourhood De Mare.
For daily shopping, you have a Lidl on your doorstep, a Dekamarkt just around the corner, and a Vomar and Albert Heijn within a couple of streets away. Schools are also close: the Stedelijk Dalton College Alkmaar is a five-minute walk, and the 1e Montessorischool Alkmaar is just around the corner. The municipality Alkmaar offers further amenities within easy reach.

Have 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.
