Heiloo-Midden is a beautiful, compact village with people who have lived there for years and form a close-knit community. Within a quarter of an hour by bike or car you are in Alkmaar, and by train you are within half an hour heading towards Amsterdam. The sea is about half an hour away by bike.

For instance, Tuindorp has its own character with older buildings, while Plan Oost has a more planned, post-war layout. Gemeentebos and Ter Coulster also each offer their own living atmosphere.
