De Hoef I en II, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis 1961 apartment on Van Ostadelaan sits in a lively part of Alkmaar West. With 68 m² of living space and an E energy label, it's a practical home that could use some modernisation. The asking price of €324,500 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €301,053, but it reflects the larger-than-average floor area. For context, apartments in Alkmaar typically sell for around €4,626 per m².

Improvement is that more attention is paid to safety and conditions around the flat next door." That's based on a single review, so it's just one perspective.
Daily errands are easy here. Vomar is just around the corner for groceries, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool Nicolaas Beets locatie de Hoef is on your doorstep, and PCC Fabritius secondary school is a five-minute walk. The municipality Alkmaar has plenty of parks and restaurants nearby, with a park just a couple of streets away.

About Van Ostadelaan 238, Alkmaar
The asking price is €324,500, which is above the neighbourhood average of €301,053 and the median of €285,000. However, this apartment is 68 m², while the average sold home in the area is 70 m², so the price per m² is roughly in line with recent sales. Homes here sell within about 37 days on average, so it's not a fast-moving market.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood. In De Hoef I en II, over 63% of homes have a label D or lower, so an E label is common here. It means heating and electricity costs will be higher than in a more efficient home, but no exact amounts are given in the listing.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That makes it convenient for commuting to Alkmaar centre or further afield.
The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many residents between 25 and 45, and a significant number over 65. Most households are single-person, and there are few families with children. One resident review mentions the area is cosy but notes safety concerns about a neighbouring flat.
