Living in Hoogdorp, Heemskerk
Hoogdorp is a quiet, largely post-war residential neighbourhood on the west side of Heemskerk. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s and 1970s: recognisable terraced houses, occasionally a semi-detached house, with front gardens, driveways and a clear street layout. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for its reliable, residential character. The streets are quiet, the neighbourhood is clear and most residents know each other.
The population is clearly ageing: the largest age group is 65-plus (590 out of 1,890 residents). You notice this in the atmosphere. It is generally quiet during the day, the gardens are well-maintained and there is little nuisance. At the same time, this makes the neighbourhood less dynamic for young families looking for a lively environment with many peers for their children.
In terms of amenities, Hoogdorp is reasonably self-sufficient for daily shopping. The centre of Heemskerk, with a Jumbo and various shops, is easily accessible by bike. For a wider range of shops, you can go to nearby Beverwijk, about ten minutes away by car. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, although the neighbourhood scores relatively low on education (6.0 in the resident rating). For secondary education, pupils rely on schools elsewhere in Heemskerk or Beverwijk.
Accessibility scores well: residents give it an 8.0. Heemskerk has its own train station, about two kilometres from Hoogdorp, with connections to Haarlem and Alkmaar. By car, the A9 is quickly accessible, providing good connections to Amsterdam and the region. Bus services connect to the station and other towns in the area.
One resident describes the neighbourhood as follows: "A cosy little neighbourhood. The district where I live is nice and cosy, but there is a park next to it where the maintenance is really poor. They remove the beautiful trees and the weeds remain." That park is also reflected in the low score for green space (5.0), the lowest sub-score of the neighbourhood. At the same time, community spirit scores remarkably high: 9.0. Residents feel connected to their immediate surroundings, even though there are concerns about nuisance from young people from neighbouring districts. Safety scores a 6.0, indicating that this point deserves attention from potential buyers.
If you want to know more about how residents experience the neighbourhood, check the full reviews and neighbourhood data on the Hoogdorp neighbourhood page. For a broader perspective on the area, a comparison with neighbouring community Waterakkers is also interesting, the other neighbourhood within the same district. Waterakkers has a higher district average and can be attractive if you are looking for a bit more dynamism. Looking further, districts such as Heemskerk-Dorp and Commandeurs en Marquette offer a different type of living environment within the same municipality.
Is a home in Hoogdorp right for you?
Hoogdorp is most suitable for home-movers and seniors looking for peace, space and a stable neighbourhood. The combination of relatively spacious homes, a high owner-occupancy rate and a strong community spirit makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who want to live long-term. First-time buyers can in theory buy a home here, but the average selling price of over €516,000 and the limited turnover (only six sales in a year) make the supply narrow and competition for a good home real. Be prepared to act quickly when something becomes available. Do you need more flexibility or want to get to know the neighbourhood first? Then also check the rental homes in Hoogdorp as an interim solution. The municipality of Heemskerk also has broader information about living and amenities at heemskerk.nl.
What residents say about Hoogdorp
Hoogdorp receives an average resident score of 7.4 out of 10.

Nouris writes: "A cosy little neighbourhood, but there is a park next to it where the maintenance is really poor. They remove the beautiful trees and the weeds remain." That picture of a pleasant neighbourhood with a park maintenance problem and some concerns about youth nuisance from surrounding districts is also reflected in the figures.

How are the green spaces and park in Hoogdorp?

One resident writes that beautiful trees are cut down while weeds remain. For those who value green spaces and well-maintained parks, this is a serious point of consideration when choosing this neighbourhood.
The neighbourhood where I live is nice and cosy, but there is a park next to it where the maintenance is really poor. They remove the beautiful trees and leave the weeds because, in my opinion, they don't know much about greenery. And the surrounding neighbourhoods have a lot of nuisance from young people. In my view, too little is being done about it. And I'm afraid it won't get much better because they want to place an asylum seekers' centre. They can't handle it as it is!
