How residents experience their district
Grootschermer is a village that feels as if time has stood still. It lies in the middle of the North Holland polder landscape, surrounded by meadows, ditches, and old dikes. What strikes me most is the peace and quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the city. The proximity of the De Eilandspolder nature reserve made it complete; ideal for a canoe trip or birdwatching. Grootschermer is small, but big in charm. A place where you can unwind and reconnect with the landscape and history of the Netherlands.

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 AIUnsafe in the evenings
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.
