We say hello when you pass each other, but otherwise nobody really bothers with each other. Everyone does their own thing. It usually feels safe, but sometimes strange things happen, like license plates being stolen from several cars in the neighbourhood. On weekends, rowdy people cycle by after a night out in the city, and on evenings when AZ plays, people cycle by with football scarves and later you can faintly hear the football sounds outside. The Albert Heijn within walking distance is nice and the butcher 't Smithe is fantastic!

About Nieuwpoortssteeg 2, Alkmaar
The asking price of €335,000 is on the high side for a detached house of this size in Oranjepark. However, the property is a historic building from 1898 with an energy label G, which means higher running costs. The price reflects its unique character and location, but you should factor in potential renovation costs.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. The house likely has poor insulation and old heating systems. Budgeting for energy bills and possible upgrades like insulation or double glazing is advisable.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes commuting by train feasible but not within immediate walking distance.
According to one resident, the area generally feels safe, though there have been occasional incidents like number plate theft. On weekends, rowdy cyclists pass by after nights out, and football fans can be heard during AZ matches. Overall, it is a quiet residential area with a friendly but reserved atmosphere.
Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance: Basisschool De Stek (525 m) and Openbare Basisschool De Fontein (619 m). For secondary education, PCC Het Lyceum is 863 m away. The area has a total of 59 schools within 5 km, so options are plentiful.
The closest supermarket is an Albert Heijn XL just 245 m away, ideal for daily shopping. A Lidl and a regular Albert Heijn are about 1 km away, and an Aldi is 1 km further. You have several options within easy reach.
