Binnenstad-West, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Sint Laurensstraat sits right in the historic centre, where the streets buzz with cafés and shops. At 65 m² it's compact but well-proportioned, and with an energy label G you can expect high heating costs. The asking price of €415,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but reflects the central location and the limited supply of apartments in Alkmaar.

About Sint Laurensstraat 7H, Alkmaar
The asking price is €415,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €394,318 and the median of €350,000. However, apartments in the centre of Alkmaar are scarce, and the price per m² (€6,385) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,490. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the central location and the historic character.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity costs compared to a modern home. The building dates from 1931, so insulation and glazing are likely poor. It's worth factoring in potential renovation costs for improvements.
Binnenstad-West is very urban and lively, with a high density of shops, restaurants, and services. A large supermarket (Jumbo) is just around the corner, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. The area is popular with young professionals and singles, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
The neighbourhood recorded 680 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a city centre. However, this includes a range of offences from petty theft to vandalism. The area is busy and popular, so it's typical for a central urban location.
In the neighbourhood, sold apartments were on the market for an average of 43 days. That's a reasonable period, suggesting a balanced market without extreme urgency. The current listing has not been sold yet, so it may be priced slightly above what buyers are willing to pay.
The listing does not mention parking, but in the centre of Alkmaar street parking is limited and often paid. There may be public parking garages nearby, but you would need to check the local regulations. Many residents in the area rely on bicycles or public transport.
