Living in Assendelft-Noord: village feel with Zaan amenities

Assendelft-Noord does not feel like a city neighbourhood. It has the character of a village that has been significantly expanded with new-build neighbourhoods over the past fifteen years, but where the original ribbon development along the Dorpsstraat still forms the backbone. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but with 3,605 households with children, it is also clearly a family neighbourhood. Resident Hanna sums it up succinctly with an 8.6: "I really enjoy it." Charlie gives an 8.2 and calls the neighbourhood "cosy and free." On the neighbourhood page of Assendelft-Noord you can read all reviews and sub-scores. The average resident score is 8.1 out of 10, with notably high scores for safety (9.0) and beauty (8.7).

In terms of amenities, the Dorpsstraat is the beating heart. There you will find an Albert Heijn, a Dirk van den Broek a bit further on in Saendelft, and various small shops. There are several primary schools, including De Bijenkorf and De Westerhout, and childcare locations spread across the neighbourhood. Sportpark De Omzoom provides space for football club Hercules and tennis club Assendelft. In the newer neighbourhoods such as Parkrijk Noord and Parkrijk Zuid, green play areas have been created, although residents score the greenery at 7.3, the lowest score. This is probably because the new-build neighbourhoods are still young and the greenery literally has to grow.

Accessibility receives an 8.0 from residents. Assendelft station does not exist, so you are dependent on the bus. Line 63 (Connexxion) runs towards Zaandam station, where you will be in about twenty minutes. From there, you are by train in twelve minutes at Amsterdam Centraal. By car, you take the Communicatieweg to the A8 towards Amsterdam or the A9 to Haarlem. During rush hour, it can be busy on the Provincialeweg, that is an honest drawback. The neighbourhoods Langeheit Oost and Langeheit West are closest to the main roads. More information about municipal plans regarding infrastructure can be found on the website of the municipality of Zaanstad.

Does Assendelft-Noord suit you as a buyer?
