Quiet and clean with a decent shopping centre in the neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AINo problem, I've lived here for 45 years, so I'm certainly happy. When someone passes away, we fly the flag at half-mast and honour them. Our flats have been renovated, completely maintenance-free, everyone is happy. Bus at the door, supermarket etc. 5 minutes walk, all that. Older, so it's nice to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AICan live here nicely, everything renovated, although there is often gossiping and peeping. I close my door and mind my own business, that's best. I certainly wouldn't want to be carried out of here and hopefully I can someday return to my hometown Hoorn, but for now it's okay.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for over a year and a half with great pleasure. Neighbourly help and cosy. More trees, for shade when it's hot.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood (apartment block), nice people, everyone greets each other. Fun gatherings. Always a chat.

About Oostervenne 254, Purmerend
At 86 m² and €325,000, that works out to about €3,779 per m². That's a typical price for an apartment in Purmerend, so it's in line with the market. The energy label D means you'll have higher energy costs than a more efficient home, which is worth factoring into your budget.

Residents appreciate the peace and the community spirit, though some mention gossiping. The area has a mix of flats and houses, and most homes are owner-occupied.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a reasonable distance for commuting to Amsterdam or other cities.
Lidl and PLUS supermarkets are both about 465 m away, so a five-minute walk. The nearest primary school, Oecumenische Basisschool KlimOp, is 291 m away, on your doorstep. Secondary schools like SG Antoni Gaudí are about 800 m away, a ten-minute walk.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home from 1975. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with label A or B. Insulation improvements could help reduce costs.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. The neighbourhood does have a park just 300 m away.
