Zwaansmeer is a neighbourhood with a mix of families and older residents, and most homes are owner-occupied. Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident says: "The neighbourhood has deteriorated badly in the years we've lived here. They just cram everything in. Gardens with weeds, lots of rubbish in front and back gardens and on the street." Another notes: "It's a reasonably neat neighbourhood, but in the evening there are many groups of young people hanging around who are not from the area." A third adds: "In the 13 years we have lived here, we have seen the neighbourhood go from beautiful to run-down." For more context, see the Zwaansmeer neighbourhood.
Daily shopping is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Aldi, Vomar and Lidl are all within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool het Kompas is on your doorstep, and Kindcentrum de Vlinder is a couple of streets away. Secondary schools are a ten-minute walk or short cycle.

The neighbourhood has deteriorated badly in the years we've lived here. They just cram everything in. Gardens with weeds, lots of rubbish in front and back gardens and on the street. No respect for each other at all. Still holding on but would love to leave. The housing association does very little. Only when you move out does the house get properly insulated with new floors. The ventilation system is NEVER cleaned. Draughty as hell here.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a reasonably neat neighbourhood, but in the evening there are many groups of young people hanging around who are not from the area. Other than that, it's okay.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the 13 years we have lived here, we have seen the neighbourhood go from beautiful to run-down. Rubbish bags or rags stuck on windows, front gardens used as storage for trailers, mess and weeds. Back gardens are used as dumping grounds. Luckily our row is still quite good. They cram everything in. Let them live in a flat if they can't keep their garden tidy. In the meantime, a few car fires and explosions near houses. Safety is hard to find. Everyone should keep their street and area clean and weed-free. It's a 30 km/h zone but people drive way too fast while there is a school and daycare nearby. Such a shame about what was once such a nice neighbourhood.

About Laan der Nederlanden 66A, Beverwijk
The asking price of €422,500 is in line with the market for apartments in Beverwijk. The home has 125 m² of floor space, an A+ energy label, and was built in 2008, which supports the price.

The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. This means the home has excellent insulation and low expected energy costs. You won't have to worry about high heating bills, and the home is environmentally friendly.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. This makes commuting to nearby cities like Haarlem or Amsterdam feasible without a car.
