Living in Boendermaker, Bergen (North Holland)

Boendermaker is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southwest side of the village of Bergen. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: wide streets with mature trees, spacious plots and detached houses that are here and there hidden behind hedges and shrubbery. It is not a neighbourhood you drive through on your way to somewhere else. You live there deliberately, and you choose it deliberately.

The buildings largely date from the 1950s to the 1980s, with a mix of architectural styles that give the neighbourhood a varied but cohesive appearance. New construction is scarce here; anyone buying a home in Boendermaker typically buys a home with character and a garden that is worth it. Many homes have been thoroughly renovated or extended over the years, which explains the large floor areas.

Daily shopping is done in the centre of Bergen, within walking distance or a short bike ride. On the Hoflaan and in the village centre you will find supermarkets, bakeries, a pharmacy and a varied range of shops and eateries. Bergen has a distinct artistic character, partly thanks to the rich painters' colony tradition, and you notice that in the atmosphere of the village. Galleries, studios and a lively cultural offering are within easy reach.

For families with children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity of Bergen, including schools in the centre of the village. Secondary schools can be found in Bergen itself and in Alkmaar, which is about ten kilometres away. Sports clubs such as tennis club Bergen and football club SV Bergen are active in the municipality and easily accessible from the neighbourhood.

Accessibility by car is good: via the N9 you quickly reach Alkmaar and the A9 towards Amsterdam. By car, you are at Alkmaar station in about twenty minutes, from where intercity trains depart to Amsterdam Central and The Hague. By bus, line 165 runs from Bergen towards Alkmaar, with a stop within acceptable walking distance of the neighbourhood. For daily trips within Bergen itself, the bicycle is the most logical choice; the neighbourhood is flat and the centre is reachable in a few minutes.

Residents particularly appreciate Boendermaker for its peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Boendermaker you can read what residents specifically write about their experiences. One resident describes it as follows: "You have the feeling here that you live away from the hustle and bustle, but still have everything at hand. The forest is literally around the corner." Critical comments sometimes concern the limited parking options during busy summer weeks, when tourists visit Bergen, and the scarce and expensive supply on the owner-occupied market.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Bergen-Centrum, Boendermaker is slightly quieter and greener, with less direct shop offering on the doorstep but more space around the home. Boschrand and Negen-Nessen are similar residential neighbourhoods in the district Bergen Binnen that are worth considering if you are looking in this part of the municipality.

Who is a home for sale in Boendermaker interesting for?

Boendermaker mainly attracts families and those aged 45 and over who are looking for space, peace and a green living environment. The age composition confirms this: the largest groups are 45 to 65 years and 65-plus. First-time buyers will find it difficult here; the average sale price of almost €1.2 million and the limited supply of seven sales in a year make this not a starter market. Movers with equity or seniors who consciously choose a quiet, high-quality living environment fit better here. If you want to live in Bergen but are looking for a lower entry level, also check the rental properties in Boendermaker or look at other neighbourhoods in the municipality. Keep in mind limited supply and a market where overbidding is not exceptional.
