The Tuindorp neighbourhood
Tuindorp is a small, established neighbourhood with a mix of ages, though the largest group is residents aged 45 to 65, and a good number are over 65. Many households are single people, and the average household size is 1.9. One resident describes it as “a very nice little village, grown organically with lovely people who were born and raised here,” adding that “everything is within reach.” They also mention that “within a quarter of an hour you're in Alkmaar and by train half an hour towards Amsterdam,” and that the sea is “just half an hour's bike ride away.” This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's view of the Tuindorp neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
About Vinkenbaan 45, Heiloo
Is €711 per month a fair price for this apartment?
At €711 per month for 45 m², the rent works out to about €15.80 per m². The average rent for a rental home in Tuindorp is €1,135, but that figure is based on a single listing, so it's not a strong comparison. Given that this is social housing, the rent is set at a level intended to be affordable, and it sits below the average for the neighbourhood.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label register. A C label is in the middle of the scale, so it is neither the most efficient nor the least efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the label itself does not tell you anything about the condition of the building or its installations.
