A modern apartment in Purmerend
This is a bright, modern apartment on Rocamadour in Purmerend, built in 2021 and finished to a high standard. With 97 m² of living space, it felt spacious and light, and the A+++ energy label meant running costs would be very low. The last known rent of €2,023 was on the high side compared with the average of €1,817 for rentals in the neighbourhood, but the size and efficiency help explain that. For context, this sits among the [apartments in Purmerend]( /huurwoningen/purmerend/appartementen/ ), where supply and pricing vary. This home has not been online since 4 November 2026.
The Europa neighbourhood
Europa is a quiet, family-friendly part of Weidevenne, with a mix of ages and household types. One resident describes it as "Nice people but boring", a place where life is calm and neighbours are friendly, even if the evenings are not exactly buzzing. Based on one review, that is the only resident verdict so far. The area has a large share of single-person households, but also plenty of families with children, so the streets feel lived-in. It is a short walk to the train station, which is about 1.9 km away, making commutes straightforward. For more on the area, see [the Europa neighbourhood]( /buurt/europa-purmerend/ ).
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with an Aldi a couple of streets away and a Dekamarkt, so fresh bread and groceries are never far. For school runs, the Openbare Basisschool Weidevogels is a five-minute walk, and Kindcentrum Willem Eggert is about 713 m away. Secondary education is available at Vonk Purmerend, roughly 877 m from the door. The municipality of Purmerend is well served by these everyday amenities, and [the municipality of Purmerend]( /gemeente/purmerend/ ) has more on the wider area.

The energy label is A+++, the most efficient label available. This meant the home was very energy-efficient, so heating and electricity costs would be minimal.
