Quiet, green and family-oriented: the character of Assendelft-Noord

The neighbourhood consists largely of terraced houses and detached homes, built for families who consciously chose peace and space.

Residents clearly appreciate the neighbourhood. On the neighbourhood page of Assendelft-Noord, Buurtje.nl gives an average resident score of 8.1 out of 10.

Hanna simply describes the neighbourhood as "nice" and says she really enjoys living there. Charlie calls the neighbourhood "cosy and free", a description that fits the character well: there is space, but you are not isolated. Green scores slightly lower (7.3), which is striking for a neighbourhood with so much water and open space, but may be related to the relatively new development of some areas such as Kreekrijk and Waterrijk, where the planting is still growing abundantly.
