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.

The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That makes it feasible for commuting, though you'll likely rely on a bike or bus for the last leg.

At 100 m², the apartment has decent space, but the neighbourhood has a strong 55-plus character and many single-person households. There are some families with children, but the area is quieter and more suited to couples or older residents. The layout isn't specified, so you'd need to check if it works for a family.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. The label is based on the building's insulation and installations from 1975, with some improvements likely.
