Everyone knows each other. You can't step out the door without being greeted by the neighbours; it's really a social neighbourhood. It's also beautifully central in the centre of Hoorn, it's truly an open-air museum! It's also a 5-minute walk from 2 parks, so if you're a nature lover, you're in the right place here too. If you're a boating enthusiast, you'll be at the water where you can moor your boat after just a couple of stumbles! So it's an ideal spot.
