For whom is buying a home in Schagen-Oost a sensible choice?

Schagen-Oost best suits movers and families who combine space, tranquillity and safety with good accessibility. The average sale price of over €627,000 makes this not a starter neighbourhood, although the range down to €275,000 at the lower end still offers some room. Bear in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and any structural survey. Supply is limited: only 13 homes were sold in the past year.
