About Ooievaarstraat 3, Alkmaar
Yes, it's on the keen side. The average rent in the neighbourhood is €1,663, and the median is the same, so this flat comes in well below that. At €18.85 per m², it's also under the neighbourhood average of €21.92 per m². Given the compact size and D energy label, the price reflects the property's character rather than modern efficiency.
Rekerbuurt en Ooievaarsnest is a dense urban area with a mix of young and old residents.

The train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short cycle. That makes it easy to reach other cities without needing a car.
Aldi is just around the corner (313 m), and SPAR is a couple of streets away (378 m). For organic options, Ekoplaza is a five-minute walk (613 m), and Albert Heijn and Jumbo are also within a ten-minute walk. You've got plenty of choice for daily groceries.
At 65 m² with one floor, it's a comfortable size for a couple or a single person. The building dates from 1925, so rooms have a traditional layout. The exact number of rooms isn't stated in the listing, but the floor area suggests a living room, bedroom, and separate kitchen.
Energy label D is average for a home of this age. It means the flat isn't as efficient as modern builds, so heating costs will be higher than with an A or B label. You'll want to factor that into your monthly budget.
