Living in De Graeffweg and surroundings, Purmerend

De Graeffweg and surroundings is a typical post-war residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Purmerend, part of the district Purmer-Noord.

It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but it is a place where people have lived for years and know each other. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but there are also many families with children, reflected in the presence of several playgrounds in the neighbourhood.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is fairly self-sufficient. There are three playgrounds in the immediate vicinity and a golf course nearby, which resident Max describes as one of the plus points: "Yes, just very cosy with the people in this neighbourhood.

Less positive are the scores for cleanliness (5.7) and safety (6.7). Resident Shayna mentions that more camera surveillance would be welcome and that fireworks are sometimes set off, but describes the atmosphere as relaxed.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as the Maten- en Zuivelbuurt or Overlanderstraat and surroundings, De Graeffweg and surroundings has a slightly more mixed character, with both owner-occupied homes and a significant share of social housing. This gives the neighbourhood a certain diversity, but can also affect the appearance of some streets. Those looking for more urbanity can also look at the centre of Purmerend.
