Living in Gommerwijk Oost, Enkhuizen
Gommerwijk Oost is a typical post-war expansion neighbourhood on the north side of Enkhuizen. The neighbourhood consists largely of terraced houses and semi-detached houses built in the 1970s and 1980s, with straight streets, front gardens and plenty of on-street parking. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its architectural features, but it is a place where many families and people over forty have been living comfortably for years. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and households with children are the most represented. This is reflected in the atmosphere: quiet, fairly green, and residents who largely know each other.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient for daily shopping. In the vicinity of Gommerwijk Oost there are supermarkets, primary schools and sports facilities that are accessible by bike or on foot. The municipality of Enkhuizen provides more information about local amenities via the municipal website. For more extensive shops and catering, the historic centre of Enkhuizen is within cycling distance, and that centre certainly has charm with its harbours and old town.
Accessibility by public transport is a weak point that residents themselves mention. Resident Ietje writes: "There is still a lot of speeding 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 no bus connection." The lack of a direct bus connection is a real disadvantage for residents without a car. By car, Enkhuizen station is accessible, from where trains depart towards Hoorn and Amsterdam. For daily travel, the bicycle is the most used option in this flat area.
A recurring point in the reviews is traffic unsafety on the through streets in the neighbourhood. Paul writes: "We live on a busy through street, where children also play outside, but children and adults also race along the pavement on an electric scooter or a fat bike." Resident PC adds that a general 30 km/h zone would make it much safer. Despite this criticism, the mutual atmosphere between neighbours is generally positive: several residents indicate that they get along well with their neighbours. For all resident experiences, see the neighbourhood page of Gommerwijk Oost with all reviews and district data.

We 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbours all along the street, but for years people have been driving much too fast and that won't change because it's a main road. If it were 30 everywhere, it would be a lot safer. I always see children playing together happily on the school playground.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to always be a safe neighbourhood, now a bit less. Good contact with neighbours, but houses need maintenance in the form of insulation and a busy through road where people drive much too fast. Green strips could be turned into flower borders. Many parked vans, which doesn't make crossing any safer. Otherwise, we try to make it a pleasant place together.
