Binnenstad-Oost, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Voordam sits in the heart of Alkmaar's old centre, with the lively streets just outside your door.

The neighbourhood has a young, mobile population: many single-person households and a large share of residents aged 25 to 45. There are no resident reviews available, but the figures show a lively, central district. For more context, see the Binnenstad-Oost neighbourhood.

The asking price is 19% below the average asking price in Binnenstad-Oost (€492,984) and also below the median of €489,750. However, the floor area of 60 m² is 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 100 m². On a per-square-metre basis, the price is in line with the market, given the excellent energy label and central location.
The apartment has an A+ energy label, which is rare for a 19th-century building, only 13% of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have A+.
Binnenstad-Oost is the historic centre of Alkmaar, with a very high address density (over 4,000 per km²). You have a SPAR supermarket 69 metres away, an Ekoplaza organic shop 212 metres, and many restaurants within a minute's walk. Primary schools are about 700 metres away, and the train station is 1.6 km, a 20-minute walk or short cycle.
The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 60 m² of floor area, it is likely a one- or two-bedroom apartment, but the exact layout is not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, terrace or any outdoor space. Given the central location and the building's age, it is unlikely to have a private garden, but you would need to check the property details for any balcony or roof terrace.
The average asking price for apartments in Alkmaar is not given, but in Binnenstad-Oost the average is €492,984 and the median €489,750. At €399,000, this apartment is priced below both, partly because it is smaller than average (60 m² vs 100 m²). The A+ label adds value, so the price is competitive for a well-insulated central home.
The train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute cycle.
The listing does not mention any defects or issues. The energy label A+ suggests the property is in good condition, but a full inspection would be needed to assess the state of the 1876 building structure, plumbing and electrical systems.

How residents experience their municipality
Nare buurt. Veel wantrouwen tussen de bewoners. Veel geluidsoverlast dag en nacht. Veel straatvuil. Mensen zetten vuil naast de ondergrondse afval containers. De angst regeert. Mensen spreken elkaar niet aan op gedrag. Voortuinen vol tegels. De huizen zijn oud en gehorig.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's every man for himself, no cleaning up, just making a mess, not looking out for each other or taking each other into consideration.

Auto-translated to English by AIAll facilities in the neighbourhood, nice neighbours, only shame about the youth causing unrest. And that the youth don't clean up their mess, so very unhygienic in the neighbourhood. Cleaning up a bit works wonders.

Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.
