Living in Noord-Scharwoude Oost, Dijk en Waard
Noord-Scharwoude Oost is a distinctly village-like neighbourhood. Cycling through it, you see quiet streets with predominantly ground-floor homes, many terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, interspersed with some newer buildings. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but rather for a certain neatness and tranquillity. Resident Killian describes it aptly: "It's really a village neighbourhood, lots of nice old-fashioned houses and people who greet each other." That sense of social connectedness is also confirmed in other reviews: the community score stands at 7.3 out of 10 and safety even scores an 8.3.
The neighbourhood has about 3,420 residents and the largest group consists of 25- to 45-year-olds. Families with children are the most common household type. This is also reflected in the street scenes: people cycle, children play outside, and it feels predominantly quiet and orderly. Compared to the sister neighbourhood Noord-Scharwoude West, this eastern part is slightly more compactly built, but they share the village character.
In terms of amenities, honesty is in order. The neighbourhood score for amenities stands at just 4.0 and accessibility scores a 4.7. Resident Ken writes that nature such as forests or the coast at Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl is difficult to reach without a car: "going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive." And Killian misses a bakery, HEMA, Action or Kruidvat in the immediate vicinity: "now I have to take the bus to Langedijk or Alkmaar to have access to more usual shops." For daily groceries, there is a limited offering in the village itself; for a full shopping centre, you need to go to Alkmaar or Langedijk.
In terms of accessibility, Noord-Scharwoude Oost depends on the car or bus. There is no train station directly nearby; the nearest station is Alkmaar, reachable by bus. By car, you can get to Alkmaar and the A9 relatively quickly via the N245, which enables connections to the Randstad. Cyclists can ride through the polder landscape around the village, although the area is flat and open, not green in the wooded sense of the word. The green score of 5.3 reflects that: there is space, but no pronounced park greenery or nature area within easy reach.

Resident Ken writes that after years in the city, he finds it "much safer" here. That makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who value a safe living environment.
I lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride. For example, going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive for a walk or an evening to blow off steam. The AH and the Toko versmarkt are great. But I wish for a Bakker Bart or Hema in the neighbourhood. Or at least more familiar shops that are affordable. The clothing boutiques are very inaccessible. That's why charity shops are so important in this neighbourhood. I also found it a shame that too little is invested in charity shops. One has already gone bankrupt for this reason and the last one is threatening to do so. Furthermore, it can be difficult to get in touch with people. Because everyone in a village knows each other. But if you're new, as far as I know there aren't really activities or community centres. Especially as a 20-something, that's a shame. Otherwise, I think it's really great how much has been invested in greenery and flowers. That will do the bees a lot of good! And if a park were ever to be made, that would be even better for the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's really a village-like neighbourhood, lots of beautiful old-fashioned houses and people greeting each other. Too bad there's no bakery, HEMA, Action, or Kruidvat. That would make it much better because now I have to take the bus to Langedijk or Alkmaar to have access to more usual shops. It would also be better if there were more frequent buses to Alkmaar, since that's where most things are. Travelling to this place takes longer than necessary if there were more amenities. There are sometimes annoying loitering youths in the street in the evening. But during the day it's absolutely fine. I also regret that there is no direct bus to the Geestmerambacht recreation park, because that's the largest piece of nature, which is a bit far if you're not mobile or don't have a car. And at the Schoutenbos there's nowhere to sit properly or enjoy the water. Furthermore, branches on the street and houses should be better removed by the officials. But I see very little litter on the street, so that's great.
