Living in De Noord: quiet, green and compactly small
Pascal described it aptly: "Small but nice." With over 3,300 residents, De Noord is not a large neighbourhood, and that is precisely what many residents appreciate. On the neighbourhood page of De Noord, there is a resident score of 7.2 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Safety (8.0) and housing (8.0) score the highest, which fits well with the feeling of a quiet, tidy neighbourhood where you can leave your car outside in the evening without worry. Accessibility scores the lowest at 6.0, and that is honest: De Noord is not a place where you can easily reach everything without a car or bicycle.
In terms of amenities, De Noord is compact but functional. For daily groceries, residents rely on the surrounding villages, as there is no large supermarket in the neighbourhood itself. In nearby Broek op Langedijk and Noord-Scharwoude, supermarkets and other shops can be found. Primary education is available in the immediate vicinity; for secondary education, students rely on Heerhugowaard or Alkmaar. For sports, there is plenty to do: the region has various football clubs, tennis clubs and cycling routes through the North Holland polder landscape. The surrounding rural area, also accessible via Buitengebied De Noord, offers space for walking and cycling. Green space scores a 7.0 in the resident ratings, which matches the open, rural character of the area.
Accessibility by public transport requires some adjustment. The nearest train station is in Heerhugowaard, a few minutes by bike or car. From there, Alkmaar is reachable in about ten minutes, Amsterdam Central in roughly 45 minutes. By car, the A9 is the main connection towards the Randstad. Bus connections exist, but the frequency is limited. Would you like to compare how De Noord relates to other neighbourhoods?

For which buyers is De Noord a good choice?
De Noord mainly attracts families and movers: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and households with children are the most represented. Starters find fewer entry-level homes here than in the more urban parts of the municipality; the average sale price of over €517,000 sets the bar high. Also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption) and notary costs. Is buying currently too expensive or is the supply too limited? Then check the rental homes in De Noord as a temporary alternative. Also De Vaandel Zuid could be interesting if you are looking for a bit more supply.
