Living in Amerika, Purmerend
Amerika is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southeastern part of Purmerend, part of the district Weidevenne. The neighbourhood was largely developed from the 1990s onwards and has the character of a planned expansion district: wide streets, spacious plots, plenty of greenery between the houses, and a clear layout. The buildings consist mainly of semi-detached houses and detached homes, with some terraced houses on the edges. The names in this corner of Purmerend refer to continents and parts of the world; Amerika is therefore the neighbour of Europa, Afrika and Azië, neighbourhoods with a similar character but sometimes a different housing mix.
The largest age group in Amerika is 45 to 65 years old, and that is clearly visible in the neighbourhood. It is not a place where you encounter many students or first-time buyers, but rather an environment of families who have lived here for a while and movers who have consciously chosen space and tranquillity. Over 40% of households are married and there are relatively many families with children.
In terms of amenities, Amerika is well-equipped for a residential neighbourhood of this size. The Weidevenne shopping centre, within cycling distance, offers a supermarket, various shops and eateries for daily groceries. For a wider range, the city centre of Purmerend is easily accessible. Schools are present in and directly around the neighbourhood, which explains the high score of 10 for education in the resident reviews. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are also to be found in the immediate vicinity.
Accessibility is one of Amerika's strongest points. Resident R. Kok describes it aptly: "Top location for commuters." Purmerend station is easily reachable by bike or bus, from where direct connections to Amsterdam Central run in about 25 minutes. For motorists, the connection to the N235 and via Purmerend to the A10 and A7 is practical. The resident score for accessibility therefore stands at 9.0. The neighbourhood scores less well on greenery (6.0), which is understandable for a planned expansion district: there is greenery present, but it is not a neighbourhood with extensive parks or nature areas right on the doorstep.
The overall resident score for Amerika is 8.1 out of 10. Besides accessibility and education, housing (9.0), safety (8.0) and amenities (8.0) also score well. Residents appreciate the combination of space, tranquillity and practical location. On the neighbourhood main page you will find all reviews and detailed neighbourhood data.
Who is a home for sale in Amerika interesting for?
Amerika mainly appeals to movers and families who are looking for space and are willing to pay a substantial price for it. With an average sale price of €628,750, this is not a starter neighbourhood, although the lower end of the market from €475,000 still offers some access for buyers with a larger budget. Those who want to be flexible or wait and see the market can also look at rental homes in Amerika as a temporary alternative. Seniors who want to live in a quiet, well-connected environment will also find suitable homes here. However, be aware that supply is limited: on average only two homes are sold per month, which means you have to act quickly when something suitable comes on the market.
