Living in Enkhuizen Noord: cosy, but with caveats
Enkhuizen Noord is a neighbourhood with many faces. You have the slightly older areas around Kadijken and Oude Gouw, where the atmosphere is village-like and the houses are characterful. Then there are the post-war Gommerwijken, such as Gommerwijk West and Gommerwijk Oost, with more single-family homes and a practical layout. Residents rate the neighbourhood a 6.9 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl based on 9 reviews. What stands out: safety scores highest at 8.0, while residents are more critical of the state of housing (6.2) and the greenery in the area (6.3).
Community spirit is mentioned by several residents. Wendy writes: "It's a cosy neighbourhood, always a friendly chat with the neighbours." At the same time, there are clear concerns. Resident Paul notes that there is a lot of speeding on through roads, also in places where children play outside, including fat bikes and electric scooters on the pavement. Ietje confirms this: "The neighbourhood is becoming shabby and there is still a lot of speeding, both on the road and on the pavement." Several residents advocate for a 30 km/h zone on the access roads.

Accessibility is a point of attention: Enkhuizen station is within cycling distance on the south side of the city, with a direct Intercity to Amsterdam Central in about an hour and a half.

It's a cosy neighbourhood, always a friendly chat with the neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIWe get along fine with everyone on the street, because we are always there for everyone, but there are many differences. We live on a busy through street, where children also play outside, but children and adults also race along the pavement on electric scooters or fatbikes and where people often drive too fast. The insulation also varies per rental property on our street, and nothing is done about it. There is also not really anything fun for children to play with, and for teenagers there is certainly nothing in the neighbourhood, which leads to mischief. Bulky waste items are also regularly put outside, in the hope that someone will take them, because nowadays you have to pay 20 euros to have bulky waste collected. Birds are also fed all year round with all sorts of things, which only attracts seagulls and this regularly almost causes accidents. Rats are also attracted. Yet I do enjoy living here, only I would appreciate it if something were done about our homes, because due to the severe draught in the house, we have to wear warm clothes to make it bearable, because it is unaffordable to heat it properly, and more unexpected speed checks or lowering the speed limit to a maximum of 30 km per hour. It would also be nice if all residents on the street no longer threw food outside, but simply put it in the green bin.

Auto-translated to English by AII get along fine with everyone in the neighbourhood, but the neighbourhood is becoming shabby and people still drive very fast both on the road and on the pavement. There is more and more rubbish on the street and in the bushes. Many elderly people live here, but there is no bus connection. The housing association also does less and less to the houses. It's draughty in the house and it's cold indoors.
