One resident describes the neighbourhood Huiswaard-2-West as: "Old people and central (close to station)." They add: "There are a lot of old people living here, in this row only two families where everyone is under 60. That is often quite boring, but it is central. It's about ten minutes by bike to the city centre and it's a five-minute walk to the station, which is very nice." The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with roughly a quarter of residents over 65 and a quarter under 25. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the area scores a 7.13 out of 10 from its one review.

About Winkelwaard 219, Alkmaar
The asking price is 16% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€326,167) and also below the median of €320,000. Given that the apartment is 60 m², which is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 84 m², the price per m² works out at about €4,583, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,069 per m². So the price is keen overall, but the smaller size means you pay a bit more per square metre.
