Living in Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03, Hoorn

Binnenstad - Buurt 10 03 is a compact, urban neighbourhood in the heart of Hoorn. Anyone looking for a rental home here chooses to live in the middle of the historic city centre: narrow streets, canal houses, characteristic facades and a mix of shops, catering establishments and homes that coexist. The neighbourhood has a distinctly urban character, but due to the human scale of Hoorn's city centre, it is not anonymous or overwhelming.

The housing stock consists largely of older buildings, often canal houses or historic townhouses converted into apartments. New-build properties are hardly found here. This gives the neighbourhood atmosphere, but also means that the homes sometimes have higher energy costs: the average gas consumption of 1,070 m³ and electricity consumption of 2,110 kWh are at a level consistent with older buildings with less insulation.
