Living in Volendam-Blokgouw 4 5 and 6, Edam-Volendam

Blokgouw 4, 5 and 6 is a quiet, largely residential neighbourhood on the western side of Volendam. Its character is typical of the expansion districts built in the 1970s and 1980s around the old Volendam centre: straight streets, fixed building blocks, few surprises in the streetscape, but also little nuisance. The neighbourhood is recognisable by its terraced houses with small front and back gardens, interspersed with semi-detached houses on the corners and along the wider avenues.

The population composition says a lot about the character of the neighbourhood. Of the 1,575 residents, the largest group is between 45 and 65 years old. Families with children are the most common household type, and 57% of residents are married. This is not a neighbourhood where you encounter many students or young starters, but rather a place where people have lived for years and have consciously chosen to do so. The labour participation rate of 75% is high, contributing to a stable, tidy living environment.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is functionally arranged. Primary schools are within cycling distance, both within the neighbourhood and in the immediate vicinity. For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets in the centre of Volendam or in nearby shopping strips. Sports clubs, including football clubs and an extensive range of water sports via the nearby harbour, make Volendam an active municipality. The Gouwzee and the IJsselmeer are a short bike ride away, making the neighbourhood attractive for people who enjoy living near the outdoors.

Accessibility by car is good via the N247 towards Amsterdam and Purmerend. By bus, you can travel from Volendam to Edam and via transfer points further towards Amsterdam. There is no direct train connection: the nearest station is Purmerend, about ten to fifteen minutes away by car. This makes the neighbourhood less suitable for daily commuters without a car, but for people who work regionally or from home, this is rarely an issue.

Residents appreciate the peace and social cohesion that have traditionally characterised Volendam. On the neighbourhood main page of Volendam-Blokgouw 4 5 and 6 you can read what residents themselves write about their neighbourhood. A frequently heard sentiment: "It's quiet here and everyone knows each other. The children play outside, the streets are clean and you feel safe." Less positive are some residents about the limited parking during busy times and the lack of public green space in the immediate living environment.

Compared to Volendam-Blokgouw 3 and Volendam-Blokgouw 1 and 2, this part of Blokgouw has a slightly higher average WOZ value, which is partly explained by the size of the homes and the location. Those also considering the Volendam-Rozettenbuurt or the Volendam-Katham and Planetenbuurt can use Buurtje.nl to directly compare neighbourhoods side by side based on resident scores and housing data.

Does a home for sale in Volendam-Blokgouw 4 5 and 6 suit you as a buyer?

This neighbourhood best suits families and home-movers looking for a spacious single-family home in a quiet environment with a strong social structure. Starters will find that the entry price of around €395,000 and an average of €577,500 is substantial, and that supply is limited: only a few homes are sold per year. This means you need to act quickly when something becomes available, and that overbidding is not unthinkable. Tailored mortgage advice is wise before you start actively searching. If you are not yet sure whether buying is the right step, also check the available rental homes in Volendam-Blokgouw 4 5 and 6 as a temporary option. For buying an apartment in Volendam-Blokgouw 4 5 and 6, supply is limited anyway; the neighbourhood consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes.
