Living in Maten- en Zuivelbuurt, Purmerend
Maten- en Zuivelbuurt is a quiet, somewhat understated residential neighbourhood in the northern part of Purmerend, part of the Purmer-Noord district. The street names reveal the history: Zuivelbuurt refers to the region's agricultural past, and the housing largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s. Here you will mainly find terraced houses and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a limited number of apartments. The streets are spacious with plenty of greenery in between, giving the neighbourhood a more village-like character than you might expect in a city like Purmerend.
The neighbourhood has a stable, mature population. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, but families with children are also well represented. With 44% married households and families as the largest household type, it is a neighbourhood where people are rooted. You can see this in the well-kept front gardens, neighbours who know each other, and the relatively low turnover.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient. Within cycling distance you will find primary schools, a GP, and daily groceries can be done at the supermarkets in the nearby shopping areas of Purmer-Noord. The Purmersteenweg shopping centre and the larger centre of Purmerend can be reached within ten to fifteen minutes, both by bike and by bus.

Accessibility by car is good: the A7 towards Amsterdam and Hoorn is quickly reachable.

One resident writes: "It's quiet here, the neighbours are friendly, and you're quickly in the green. Not exciting, but that's exactly what I was looking for."
