Oranjepark, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Jan Wilshof 37 sits in a leafy part of Oranjepark, a neighbourhood that feels both central and calm. With 155 m² of living space, it is generously sized for a flat, and the A+ energy label means it is very efficient to run. The asking price of €840,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Alkmaar, but the size and quality help explain it.
Oranjepark has about 1,240 residents, with a noticeable share of older people and many single-person households. One resident describes it as a "busy road with beautiful houses" and notes that "we say hello when you pass each other, but otherwise nobody really bothers with each other." The same review mentions that it usually feels safe, though occasionally strange things happen, like number plates being stolen. On weekends, rowdy people cycle by after a night out, and on match days you can faintly hear football sounds from the AZ stadium. The neighbourhood Oranjepark has a strong urban feel, with over 2,100 addresses per square kilometre.
For groceries, the AH XL is just around the corner, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Basisschool De Stek and Openbare Basisschool De Fontein, both about a five-minute walk. The municipality Alkmaar offers plenty of restaurants and a park within a few minutes' walk, making it easy to grab a bite or enjoy some green space.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Vlieg Makelaars, Funda and Huispedia.

We say hello when you pass each other, but otherwise nobody really bothers with each other. Everyone does their own thing. It usually feels safe, but sometimes strange things happen, like license plates being stolen from several cars in the neighbourhood. On weekends, rowdy people cycle by after a night out in the city, and on evenings when AZ plays, people cycle by with football scarves and later you can faintly hear the football sounds outside. The Albert Heijn within walking distance is nice and the butcher 't Smithe is fantastic!
