Living among businesses: what is life really like in Bedrijventerrein Heerhugowaard?
Anyone looking for a home in Bedrijventerrein Heerhugowaard needs to know what they are getting into. This is not a classic residential neighbourhood with a village square and a primary school around the corner. The name says it all: the area is primarily designed for business activity, and the approximately 980 residents often live here in a mix of live-work combinations, storage units with upstairs flats or small-scale residential buildings squeezed between business plots. The dominant age group of 25 to 45 years, accounting for almost half of all residents, fits this: they are people who live pragmatically, close to their work or looking for space at a relatively low price per square metre.
On the neighbourhood page of Bedrijventerrein Heerhugowaard you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and quiet you experience in the evenings and at weekends, when the businesses are closed. One resident describes it as: "busy and functional during the day, but in the evening you have the street to yourself." Less positive are comments about the lack of everyday amenities directly in the neighbourhood: for shopping, schools or catering, you have to rely on adjacent neighbourhoods. The neighbourhoods De Vaandel Noord and De Frans are nearby and have more of a residential character, as do the sub-areas Zandhorst I, Zandhorst II and Zandhorst III.
The average income of €32,600 is noticeably below the municipal average of €36,700, and the labour participation rate of 60% and the proportion of highly educated people of 12% paint a picture of a practically minded neighbourhood. The energy consumption, with 3,390 kWh of electricity and 1,340 m³ of gas per household, is on the high side, which is not unusual for older or less well-insulated properties in this type of mixed area.
Renting in Bedrijventerrein Heerhugowaard: who does it work for, and who not?
