A quiet spot in Oudorp
This apartment on the Vestastraat sits in Oudorp, a village-like part of Alkmaar where the polder starts and the pace slows down. It is a first-floor gallery flat from 1977, with a living area of 51 m² according to the agent, and it is offered for €249,000. That asking price is keen, sitting 47% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €466,618, and it is the cheapest of the 17 homes currently for sale in this neighbourhood. For context, the average asking price for apartments in Alkmaar is higher, so this one stands out on price.
