Living in Westeinde, Wormerland
Westeinde is a quiet, village-like neighbourhood in the heart of Wormer, part of the municipality of Wormerland. The neighbourhood has a distinctly green, village character with detached homes, semi-detached homes and terraced houses, interspersed with some apartment complexes. The housing stock largely dates from the post-war period, with expansions in the 1970s and 1980s. New construction is scarce, giving the neighbourhood a stable and familiar appearance.
