Laarmanstraat 2

At €750,000, this is the most expensive home currently for sale in Tuindorp and 29% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €579,286. The home is also smaller than average (71 m² vs 98 m²), so the price per square metre is higher. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the detached house type and the large plot in this quiet village.

Tuindorp is a small, friendly neighbourhood with a village feel. One resident says: 'It's a very nice little village, grown organically with lovely people who were born and raised here. I enjoy cycling through it and everything is within reach.' The area has a mix of ages, with many older residents and a fair number of families. Most homes are single-family houses, and the streets are quiet.

The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there, you can reach Alkmaar in about 15 minutes and Amsterdam in half an hour. The station is a convenient link for commuters.

Albert Heijn is just 378 metres away, a couple of streets from the home. Vomar and Ekoplaza are both about 735 metres away, also within easy walking distance. For daily shopping, you have several options within a few minutes' walk.

Primary schools within walking distance include Radboudkindcentrum (382 m), De Springschans (445 m), and Benedictusschool Kindcentrum (543 m). For secondary education, PCC Heiloo is about 1 km away. All are within a ten-minute walk or short cycle.

The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age (built in 1930). It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation could help.
