Living in Bomenbuurt, Dijk en Waard

Bomenbuurt is a quiet, green residential area on the west side of Heerhugowaard, part of the municipality of Dijk en Waard. The name says it all: streets are spacious with trees along the roadway, there is relatively much greenery between the homes, and the neighbourhood exudes a calm, suburban atmosphere. This is not a neighbourhood where you will find much nightlife or bustle in the evening, but it is a place where children play outside and neighbours know each other.

The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s. This means spacious plots, but also that many homes have already had an energy upgrade or still need one. The average gas consumption of 1,090 m³ per year is on the high side, which is a point of attention when assessing energy labels. Buyers who include sustainability in their plans will find opportunities here.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Middenwaard shopping centre is within cycling distance and offers a wide range of supermarkets, shops and services. The same applies to schools: primary schools are present within the neighbourhood, and secondary schools are accessible in Heerhugowaard itself. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are well represented, partly thanks to the proximity of the recreation area that gives the neighbourhood its name.

In terms of accessibility, Heerhugowaard is well connected. Heerhugowaard station offers direct connections to Alkmaar and Amsterdam. By car, via the N242 you are quickly on the A9 towards Amsterdam or Alkmaar. Within the neighbourhood and to the centre of Heerhugowaard, the bicycle is the logical choice: the road network is flat and clear.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and green appearance. On the Bomenbuurt neighbourhood page you can read all reviews and partial scores. One resident writes: "It is quiet and green here, the neighbours are involved and you have everything you need within cycling distance." Criticism sometimes focuses on traffic pressure on through streets and the fact that the neighbourhood is not very lively in the evening for those seeking that.

Compared to neighbouring Recreatiebuurt, Bomenbuurt is slightly more urban in layout, while Waarderhout has a greener, more spacious appearance. Those weighing up between these neighbourhoods would do well to also look at homes for sale in Bomen- Recreatiewijk as a whole for a broader overview.
