Details of this home
Insure your home and belongingsGet insuredAbout Tamarixplantsoen 113, Heerhugowaard
At €840 a month, this apartment is below the neighbourhood average rent of €1,045 and the median of €1,045. The average price per m² in the area is €15.17, so at €16.80 per m², it's slightly above that. However, given the smaller floor area, the total rent is competitive. Only two rental properties are currently available in the neighbourhood, so options are limited.
The energy label is B, which means the apartment is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating and electricity costs, though not as low as an A-label home. The building was built in 1970, so it likely has some insulation, but not the latest standards.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. Heerhugowaard station offers connections to Alkmaar, Amsterdam, and other cities.
Recreatiebuurt has a mix of households: about 25% have children, 30% are couples without children, and 43% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a secondary school just around the corner. The area is quiet and green, which residents appreciate.
Yes, Dekamarkt is just around the corner (325 m), and Vomar is a couple of streets away (466 m). Jumbo and AH XL are within a ten-minute walk. Daily shopping is very convenient.
One resident notes that due to a parking permit system, many people park on the street, making it sometimes hard to park in front of your own house. The apartment itself does not mention a private parking spot, so you would rely on street parking with a permit.
The apartment has a floor area of 50 m², which is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 69 m². It's a compact one-bedroom or studio-style apartment, suitable for a single person or a couple.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very cosy. There are many events on the Kruis that are often very enjoyable for young and old. The architecture of the houses doesn't match well. And the neighbours are all friendly and everyone knows each other a bit. We are only quite far from the station and I think there is little entertainment in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride. For example, going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive for a walk or an evening to blow off steam. The AH and the Toko versmarkt are great. But I wish for a Bakker Bart or Hema in the neighbourhood. Or at least more familiar shops that are affordable. The clothing boutiques are very inaccessible. That's why charity shops are so important in this neighbourhood. I also found it a shame that too little is invested in charity shops. One has already gone bankrupt for this reason and the last one is threatening to do so. Furthermore, it can be difficult to get in touch with people. Because everyone in a village knows each other. But if you're new, as far as I know there aren't really activities or community centres. Especially as a 20-something, that's a shame. Otherwise, I think it's really great how much has been invested in greenery and flowers. That will do the bees a lot of good! And if a park were ever to be made, that would be even better for the greenery.
