Rental prices and market figures for Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 01, Hoorn
Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 01 is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 74% of the 381 homes are owned, only 26% are rented. Of those rental homes, 21% are owned by a housing association (social housing) and 5% by other landlords (private sector). This makes the supply of rental homes in this neighbourhood limited, and private sector rental homes are certainly not cheap here.
In the private sector (excluding social housing), 3 homes were rented out in the past twelve months with an average rent of €1,898 per month. The range was between €1,795 and €1,950 per month. Surface area data is missing for this period, so a price per m² cannot be calculated. By comparison, the average WOZ value in this neighbourhood is €343,000, which is higher than the district average of Risdam-Noord (€281,000) and also slightly above the municipal average of Hoorn (€333,000).

Living in Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 01, Hoorn
Living in Risdam-Noord - Buurt 21 01 feels quiet. The neighbourhood has a spacious layout with predominantly ground-based homes, such as semi-detached houses and detached homes, which fits the high WOZ value and the owner-occupied character of the area.

Resident Hélène describes it as follows: "A quiet neighbourhood with a spacious layout." She does add a caveat: the Berkmergouw, one of the main roads, has become busier now that the Keern is closed. That is a concrete point to consider if you are looking for a rental home on or near that route.

Accessibility
Accessibility scores a 6.0, the lowest sub-score in the resident reviews, and not without reason. Allema points to the disappearance of the bus connection, which has worsened public transport links. For public transport, you are therefore reliant on a bike or car to Hoorn station, from where trains run to Amsterdam, Enkhuizen and Alkmaar. By car, the neighbourhood is easily accessible via the N506 and the connection to the A7 towards Amsterdam and Alkmaar. Parking is generally not a problem in this owner-occupied neighbourhood: most homes have their own parking space or driveway, and there are no paid parking regimes in effect. By bike, the centre of Hoorn can be reached in about ten to fifteen minutes.
Community and safety
The neighbourhood scores an 8.0 on both safety and community. Residents know each other, help each other and organise joint activities. This fits the demographic composition: the largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (245 people), followed by over-65s (240 people). This is a mature neighbourhood with many established residents and little turnover, which contributes to social cohesion but also means that rental homes rarely become available here.

A quiet neighbourhood with a spacious layout. Unfortunately, the road, Berkmergouw, is very busy with traffic since the Keern was closed. That's the only downside.
