Living in Volendam-Bloemenbuurt, Edam-Volendam

Bloemenbuurt is located in the western part of Volendam and has a quiet, residential character that clearly differs from the bustle around the harbour and the Oude Kom. The streets are named after flowers, and the buildings largely date from the 1970s and 1980s, which is evident: you will find compact terraced houses and semi-detached houses with small gardens on straight streets with little traffic. It is a neighbourhood that does not stand out, but that is precisely what many residents appreciate about it.

For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There is a supermarket within cycling distance, and the centre of Volendam, with its shops and eateries along the Edammerweg and the Dijkje, can be reached within ten minutes. For a larger range of shops, residents travel to Purmerend or Amsterdam. The municipality of Edam-Volendam provides an overview of municipal facilities and services on its website: edam-volendam.nl. Children in the neighbourhood attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity; Volendam has several primary schools spread across the town. Sports clubs are well represented, with football, volleyball and water sports being popular choices in this fishing village.

In terms of accessibility, Bloemenbuurt depends on the car or bicycle. Volendam does not have its own NS train station; the nearest train stations are Purmerend and Hoorn, both about a twenty-minute drive away. Bus line 314 connects Volendam with Purmerend, from where you can continue by train towards Amsterdam. By car, the A10 or N247 is the usual route to Amsterdam, which during rush hour quickly takes three-quarters of an hour to an hour. That is something to consider if you commute daily.

Residents appreciate the peace and social cohesion in Bloemenbuurt. The neighbourhood has a village feel, where you know your neighbours and children can play safely outside. One resident describes it as: "It is quiet here, the streets are clean and the neighbours know each other. Not spectacular, but just nice to live in." Recurring criticisms include limited parking at peak times and the fact that the neighbourhood has undergone little renewal in terms of appearance.
