Plan West is a quiet, predominantly post-war expansion neighbourhood on the west side of Medemblik. The neighbourhood consists largely of single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional detached houses on larger plots. The streets are wide, there is relatively much greenery between the homes, and parking is generally not a problem.
