With 145 m² of living space, the price per square metre is around €1,097. That is low compared to many apartments in the region, especially given the rural setting. The energy label C is average. Overall, the price appears keen for the size.
Buitengebied Noord-Scharwoude is a very rural area with only 140 residents. It is quiet and sparsely built, with mostly single-person households and couples. The average age is relatively high, and there are few children. It is not a bustling neighbourhood, but offers peace and space.
The nearest train station is 6 km away. That makes it a bit of a drive or cycle to catch a train. Public transport options within the neighbourhood itself are limited due to the rural character.
The closest supermarket is Lidl at about 2.6 km, followed by Vomar and Albert Heijn within 2.8 km. That is a five to ten-minute cycle or a short drive. For daily shopping, you will need some form of transport.
The nearest primary school is Openbare daltonschool De Phoenix at 2.5 km. There are several other primary schools within a similar distance. The closest secondary school, CSG Jan Arentsz, is 2.2 km away. All are reachable by bike.
With 145 m², the apartment is very spacious and could accommodate a family. However, the neighbourhood has few children and is more popular with older residents. The rural setting means amenities are not within walking distance, so a car is useful.

How residents experience their district
I lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride. For example, going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive for a walk or an evening to blow off steam. The AH and the Toko versmarkt are great. But I wish for a Bakker Bart or Hema in the neighbourhood. Or at least more familiar shops that are affordable. The clothing boutiques are very inaccessible. That's why charity shops are so important in this neighbourhood. I also found it a shame that too little is invested in charity shops. One has already gone bankrupt for this reason and the last one is threatening to do so. Furthermore, it can be difficult to get in touch with people. Because everyone in a village knows each other. But if you're new, as far as I know there aren't really activities or community centres. Especially as a 20-something, that's a shame. Otherwise, I think it's really great how much has been invested in greenery and flowers. That will do the bees a lot of good! And if a park were ever to be made, that would be even better for the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's really a village-like neighbourhood, lots of beautiful old-fashioned houses and people greeting each other. Too bad there's no bakery, HEMA, Action, or Kruidvat. That would make it much better because now I have to take the bus to Langedijk or Alkmaar to have access to more usual shops. It would also be better if there were more frequent buses to Alkmaar, since that's where most things are. Travelling to this place takes longer than necessary if there were more amenities. There are sometimes annoying loitering youths in the street in the evening. But during the day it's absolutely fine. I also regret that there is no direct bus to the Geestmerambacht recreation park, because that's the largest piece of nature, which is a bit far if you're not mobile or don't have a car. And at the Schoutenbos there's nowhere to sit properly or enjoy the water. Furthermore, branches on the street and houses should be better removed by the officials. But I see very little litter on the street, so that's great.

How residents experience their municipality
Good neighbourhood, cosy people
Auto-translated to English by AITop
Auto-translated to English by AISafe. Quiet. Clean. Many amenities in the area.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nice, with many different families of various ages. Generally, the area is clean and quiet. Most people are friendly and respectful.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, I find my neighbourhood very pleasant. It's a quiet environment where I don't really have any issues. Additionally, the shops are conveniently close, which makes daily errands very easy. What I like less is that due to the parking permit system, many people park on our street. As a result, I often can't park in front of my own house, which is sometimes frustrating. Otherwise, I'm satisfied, because it remains a quiet and nice neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very cosy. There are many events on the Kruis that are often very enjoyable for young and old. The architecture of the houses doesn't match well. And the neighbours are all friendly and everyone knows each other a bit. We are only quite far from the station and I think there is little entertainment in the neighbourhood.
