Most residents are very helpful
Auto-translated to English by AIAll addicts and troublemakers, everyone dumps their rubbish bags next to the containers, nobody cleans up their mess. You call the police 100 times but they can't do anything either, a lost neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe grass grows up to your shoulders on fields meant for dogs, and playgrounds for children are life-threatening. The houses are heavily mouldy inside and outside the panels of the apartment block are rotting away. The newer flats are being renovated, but the flats that are severely uninhabitable and a danger to your own life are skipped not only in renovation but also in maintenance. If you complain about it to the housing association, they say they can't do anything about it and you have to solve it yourself, and even if they say they will work on it, no one ever shows up to actually do it. The weeds in front of the door almost reach the windows of the residents on the first floor. Most neighbours don't bother each other and get along fine, but we don't have a real bond either and we are largely satisfied with that.

About Kuenenplein 34, Beverwijk
At 77 m² and with a D energy label, the price is in line with what other apartments in Beverwijk are asking. The flat is from 1954, so you're paying for a solid size rather than modern finishes. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not obviously overpriced.
Label D is average for a flat of this age, not super efficient, but not the worst either. You can expect higher heating costs than a modern A-label home, but the exact amount depends on your usage and the heating system. The listing doesn't mention double glazing or insulation, so it's worth checking those.
Crime figures show 84 total offences in the area, which is moderate for a dense urban neighbourhood. Resident reviews are mixed: one says 'most residents are very helpful', while another mentions 'addicts and troublemakers' and rubbish dumping.
