Frequently asked questions
About Zeglis 6A, Alkmaar
Is €275,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €275,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €350,000, but the apartment is also much smaller than average (45 m² vs 108 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,111, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,241 per m². So while the total price is lower, you are paying a premium for the compact size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is average for an older home. It means the property has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, all homes have label B, so this one is slightly less efficient than the local norm.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
What are the neighbours like?
Reviews are mixed. One new resident finds the area cosy and people friendly, with a view of Oosterpark. Others mention issues with loitering youths, rubbish dumping, and a perceived decline. The neighbourhood has a mix of singles and families, with many residents aged 25-45.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is 45 m², and the plot size is not stated, so it is likely there is no private outdoor space. The Oosterpark is just 200 m away for outdoor recreation.
How many rooms does the apartment have?
With a floor area of 45 m², it is a compact home, but the exact layout is not provided by the agent.
What schools are nearby?
Several schools are within walking distance. Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Matthias is 200 m away, Sint Adelbertusschool is 761 m, and secondary schools like PCC Het Lyceum are 834 m. There is also a special education school at 608 m.
How safe is the neighbourhood?
Crime data shows 90 total offences in the neighbourhood, but without a per capita figure it is hard to compare. Reviews mention violence by fatbike youths and fireworks nuisance, but also that some residents feel safe and enjoy the area.
Experiences from Oud-Overdie
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

A lot of rubbish is dumped on the streets, you don't see much police in the area. A lot of violence on the streets by fatbike youths.
Auto-translated to English by AIToo many immigrants are moving in, causing a lot of problems. A lot of nuisance from loitering youths and fireworks. It used to be a nice working-class neighbourhood, unfortunately not anymore.

Auto-translated to English by AIMulticultural neighbourhood, friendly, kind elderly and young people. People look out for each other, social and empathetic. Two community centres and a neighbourhood farm with activities. Nice park for children in the playground, for the elderly to walk, to exercise. Feels safe and familiar. GPs, shops, care centre nearby. In short, a great neighbourhood.

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 AIGreat neighbourhood typical Alkmaar feels like city and village in one
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.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat, unfortunately the one next to it is less safe. Improvement is that more attention is paid to safety and conditions around the flat next door.
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent, few burglaries. I live in the city so fairly little greenery, but enough within a few minutes' drive
