Living in Purmer-Zuid/Zuid: a quiet family neighbourhood on the edge of Purmerend

Purmer-Zuid/Zuid is located in the southern part of Purmerend, wedged between the Purmer-Ee and the open polder landscape. It is a neighbourhood best described as suburban and green, with wide streets, many gardens and relatively little traffic. The homes mostly date from the period 1990-2010: you will find terraced houses, semi-detached houses and, on the edges, detached houses with large plots. It is not a neighbourhood with historical character or cosy shopping streets, but it is a place where you have space and children can play safely outside.

The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (2,310 residents), but with 1,240 households with children, it is clearly also a family neighbourhood. Amenities are easily accessible: on the Purmerenderweg and in shopping centre De Linie you will find supermarkets, a GP and smaller shops. Primary schools such as De Bijenkorf and De Waterhof are within walking or cycling distance. For secondary schools and more extensive shopping, you go to the centre of Purmerend, which is a ten-minute bike ride away.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores reasonably well. Purmerend Station is about five kilometres away, with a direct Sprinter connection to Amsterdam Central in about 25 minutes. By car, you are quickly on the A7 towards Amsterdam or Hoorn via the N235. Bus lines (including line 305) run through the neighbourhood towards the station and centre. A disadvantage that residents often mention is the dependence on the car for larger shopping trips or evening activities.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. "Nice, green neighbourhood with many families. Children just play in the street here, you don't see that everywhere anymore," writes a resident on the neighbourhood page of Purmer-Zuid/Zuid. At the same time, it is noticeable that some residents find the neighbourhood a bit boring: there is little hospitality and social life mainly takes place indoors or at sports clubs. Compared to the neighbouring neighbourhood Purmer-Zuid/Noord, it is slightly more spacious here and prices are on average somewhat higher due to the larger homes. If you are looking for more nature, you can also look at the Purmerbos and surroundings, although the supply there is limited.

For first-time buyers, the entry price of around €425,000 is steep, especially if you have to overbid. Keep in mind that popular homes sell quickly.
