Noord-Scharwoude Oost, Dijk en Waard
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Dorpsstraat in Noord-Scharwoude has a classic feel, with its 1910 build and energy label G. At 68 m² on a 240 m² plot, it's compact but has its own space. The asking price of €475,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Dijk en Waard.
This is a village-like neighbourhood where people greet each other and old-fashioned houses line the streets. Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the safety and greenery but miss nature and more shops. One resident says: "I lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride." Another notes: "It's really a village-like neighbourhood, lots of beautiful old-fashioned houses and people greeting each other. Too bad there's no bakery, HEMA, Action, or Kruidvat." The neighbourhood Noord-Scharwoude Oost has a mix of families and older residents, with mostly owner-occupied homes.
For groceries, Aldi is just around the corner, Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, and Vomar is a five-minute walk. Primary school De Wijde Veert is a five-minute walk, and IKC Waterrijk is a ten-minute walk. For secondary school, CSG Jan Arentsz is about 2 km away. The municipality Dijk en Waard offers a restaurant within a couple of streets and a park or public garden just around the corner.

I lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride. For example, going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive for a walk or an evening to blow off steam. The AH and the Toko versmarkt are great. But I wish for a Bakker Bart or Hema in the neighbourhood. Or at least more familiar shops that are affordable. The clothing boutiques are very inaccessible. That's why charity shops are so important in this neighbourhood. I also found it a shame that too little is invested in charity shops. One has already gone bankrupt for this reason and the last one is threatening to do so. Furthermore, it can be difficult to get in touch with people. Because everyone in a village knows each other. But if you're new, as far as I know there aren't really activities or community centres. Especially as a 20-something, that's a shame. Otherwise, I think it's really great how much has been invested in greenery and flowers. That will do the bees a lot of good! And if a park were ever to be made, that would be even better for the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's really a village-like neighbourhood, lots of beautiful old-fashioned houses and people greeting each other. Too bad there's no bakery, HEMA, Action, or Kruidvat. That would make it much better because now I have to take the bus to Langedijk or Alkmaar to have access to more usual shops. It would also be better if there were more frequent buses to Alkmaar, since that's where most things are. Travelling to this place takes longer than necessary if there were more amenities. There are sometimes annoying loitering youths in the street in the evening. But during the day it's absolutely fine. I also regret that there is no direct bus to the Geestmerambacht recreation park, because that's the largest piece of nature, which is a bit far if you're not mobile or don't have a car. And at the Schoutenbos there's nowhere to sit properly or enjoy the water. Furthermore, branches on the street and houses should be better removed by the officials. But I see very little litter on the street, so that's great.

About Dorpsstraat 652, Noord-Scharwoude
The price is on the high side compared to other homes in the area, especially given the compact 68 m² floor area and energy label G, which means high heating costs to expect. However, it's a detached house with a 240 m² plot, which is rare in this village-like neighbourhood.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating bills. The house dates from 1910 and likely has poor insulation and single glazing.
The nearest train station is 5.2 km away, so you would need a car or bus to reach it. There is no direct bus to the Geestmerambacht recreation park, as one resident noted.
Aldi is within walking distance (about 5 minutes), Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, and Vomar is a five-minute walk. Residents mention they miss a bakery, HEMA, or Kruidvat, so for those you'd need to go to Langedijk or Alkmaar.
Residents feel it's safe, especially compared to the city. One said: "since moving here it feels much safer." Another noted occasional loitering youths in the evening, but during the day it's fine. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 84, which is moderate.
Primary school De Wijde Veert is a five-minute walk, and IKC Waterrijk is a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, CSG Jan Arentsz (vmbo, havo, vwo) is about 2 km away.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot is 240 m², which typically includes some outdoor space. However, the exact layout is not stated.
