Living in Meerplein, Beverwijk

Meerplein is an urban neighbourhood right in the centre of Beverwijk. The name refers to Meerpaalplein and the surrounding streets, an area recognisable for its mix of shops on the ground floor and residential floors above. The character is pronounced: this is not a quiet residential area, but a neighbourhood where daily life literally unfolds around you. Supermarkets, bakeries, hairdressers and lunchrooms are within walking distance. Beverwijk's centre is compact and easy to navigate, and Meerplein lies right at its heart.

The housing stock largely consists of apartments above shops and maisonette flats from the 1960s and 1970s. Ground-level single-family homes exist but are scarcer than in peripheral neighbourhoods such as Vondelkwartier or Warande. If you are looking for a garden, you need to be realistic about what is available here.

For daily errands, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The Beverwijkse Bazaar, one of the largest covered markets in the Netherlands, is within cycling distance. For green spaces, you can go to Assumburg Park or Wijkermeer Park, both a few minutes' drive away. Primary schools are available in the centre of Beverwijk, including De Springplank primary school. Secondary schools such as Kennemer College are also located in the municipality.

Accessibility is one of Meerplein's strongest points. Beverwijk station is within walking distance, about five to ten minutes away. From there, direct trains run to Haarlem (approximately 20 minutes) and Amsterdam Centraal (approximately 35 minutes). The A9 motorway is reachable by car within five minutes. Bus services via Connexxion connect the neighbourhood with surrounding areas and the region. For daily commuters, this is a practical advantage that neighbouring areas such as Sint Aagtendorp or Burgerhartstraat cannot always match.

Residents appreciate the central location and liveliness, but there are also critical voices. One resident writes: "Everything is close by, but it can also be busy and noisy, especially at weekends when the market is on." Parking is mentioned by several residents as a point of attention. On the Meerplein neighbourhood page you can find all resident reviews and scores per category, from safety to green spaces.

Who is a home in Meerplein suitable for?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts young singles and couples, which is also reflected in the demographics: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and single-person households form the largest household group. Buying an apartment in Meerplein can be attractive for starters who want to live close to the station and appreciate urban living. Families with children will more often choose more spacious neighbourhoods elsewhere in Beverwijk. The average transaction price of €337,318 is realistic for an apartment of 73 m² on average, but supply is scarce. If you need more space or want a garden, you can also look at homes for sale elsewhere in Beverwijk. For those who want to remain flexible, there are also rental homes in Meerplein available.
