Weidevenne through the eyes of residents: quiet, well-connected, but not buzzing
On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Weidevenne an 8.6 out of 10. That is a solid score, but if you look at the sub-scores, you can see where the neighbourhood excels and where it falls short. Education scores a 9.7 and accessibility a 9.3. That matches what residents themselves say. Reviewer R. Kok calls it a "top location for commuters" with good public transport links, shops, schools and sports facilities. Resident Noa confirms this: "Many schools nearby, so plenty of choice. There are also many public transport options." The bus lines towards Amsterdam Central and Purmerend station make the neighbourhood popular among commuters.

Where Weidevenne scores lower is on green space (6.3) and sense of community (8.0). That is striking for a neighbourhood that partly consists of new-build homes. The sub-areas each have their own character. In Europa and Amerika you will find many single-family homes from the 2000s, while de Hazepolder is newer and has more apartments. Noa honestly says she does not have much contact with neighbours, but feels that is more down to herself than the neighbourhood. Reviewer Bomboclat sums it up succinctly: "Nice people, but boring." That is perhaps the best description of Weidevenne. It is not a neighbourhood you move to for the nightlife or cultural scene. It is a neighbourhood where you live comfortably, sleep well and can easily get away.
Safety is rated 8.7, and housing itself scores a 9.3. So residents are satisfied with the quality of their home. With an average gas consumption of just 70 m³ per year, many homes here are well-insulated or connected to district heating, which fits the relatively young housing stock. The municipality of Purmerend is actively investing in the sustainability of these newer neighbourhoods.
Renting in Weidevenne: suitable for families and commuters, less so for starters

Great neighbourhood with all amenities such as public transport, shops, schools, sports
Auto-translated to English by AINice people but boring
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood to live in. We ourselves don't have much contact with all the neighbours, so I can't say whether our area is good in that regard, but that of course also depends on the residents themselves. There are many schools nearby, so plenty of choice. There are also many public transport options, so you are well connected to other cities, which is nice for students like me. Public transport here is not flawless, but certainly not bad either. There is a meadow nearby and almost everywhere in Purmerend you have a canal with a cycling/walking path, which are nice places to walk dogs. A large part of the Afrika neighbourhood is connected by water, so you can also go boating and swimming. The neighbourhoods often look well-maintained. You usually find a can or a piece of paper here and there, but I think that's the case everywhere. As for facilities: there is a cinema, hospital, bowling alley, swimming pool, several parks and playgrounds. Supermarkets are abundant: Lidl, Dirk, Spar, several Vomar and Albert Heijn stores. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants. In the centre, which is a 15-minute bike ride away, you also have shops like H&M, Only, Douglas, Ici Paris XL. There is also Weidevenne shopping centre, which is even closer, where you can find everything for your groceries. There is a market there every Thursday and in the centre every Tuesday.
