Living in Kadijken, Enkhuizen

Kadijken is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the north side of Enkhuizen, with a predominantly family character. The neighbourhood largely consists of single-family homes, terraced houses and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a number of detached houses. The buildings mainly date from the 1970s and 1980s, meaning you will find solid, well-built homes with spacious gardens and wide streets. New construction is scarce; those who buy here consciously choose an established neighbourhood with character.

The atmosphere is quiet and subdued. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, and families with children are the most common household type. You notice this in the neighbourhood: it is not a place buzzing with activity, but rather an environment where people live pleasantly and undisturbed. Resident Yaron Verhoek describes it aptly: "There is a mix of unpleasant people and very kind people", and adds that his parents are friends with the neighbours, but that he himself does not know most neighbours. That typifies Kadijken well: it is a neighbourhood where you can easily go your own way, but where involvement is also possible if you seek it out.

In terms of green space, the neighbourhood scores highly: residents give green space a 9.0. There are spacious park strips, and the proximity of the countryside and the IJsselmeer means you are quickly outside the built-up area. Safety even gets a perfect score of 10.0, which is an important fact for a family neighbourhood. Amenities score slightly lower (7.0), and that is correct: Kadijken is not a neighbourhood with a full range of amenities within walking distance. For daily shopping, you rely on supermarkets in the centre of Enkhuizen or in nearby neighbourhoods. Primary schools are accessible within the Enkhuizen Noord district, and education therefore receives a 9.0 from residents.

Accessibility scores an 8.0. Enkhuizen has a NS train station with direct connections to Hoorn and Amsterdam. From Kadijken, you can cycle to the station in about ten minutes. By car, you connect via the N302 to the regional road network towards Hoorn and the A7. Public transport within the municipality is more limited, but for the region, the train is a good option.

Compared to sister neighbourhoods in Enkhuizen Noord, Kadijken has a clearly higher price range than, for example, Drechterwijk or Gommerwijk Oost. Those looking for a green, quiet environment with spacious homes, but also willing to pay for it, will find Kadijken one of the more attractive options in the region. More about the neighbourhood, the scores per category and what other residents think can be found on the Kadijken neighbourhood page with all reviews and district data.

Is an owner-occupied home in Kadijken right for you?

Kadijken mainly attracts families and home-movers who are looking for space, appreciate peace and quiet, and are willing to pay a hefty price. With an average selling price of almost €590,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood. First-time buyers who still want to live in the area would be better off looking at Gommerwijk West or Oude Gouw, where the price level is lower. The supply in Kadijken is limited: only 20 homes were sold in the past year, so anyone seriously interested would do well to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is not unusual in this segment. Renting in the neighbourhood is hardly an option given the small rental sector, but you could check the rental homes in Kadijken as an alternative or stepping stone.
