Living in Weidevenne: new-build neighbourhood with a family character
Weidevenne is the newest large neighbourhood of Purmerend, largely built from the late 1990s onwards. You notice this in the wide streets, modern architecture and clear layout. It is not a neighbourhood with historical character or cosy canals, but a place where everything is functionally in order. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and with 3,520 households with children, it is clearly a family neighbourhood. The average disposable income of €40,700 is above the municipal average, which fits the owner-occupied profile.
Residents of Weidevenne give the neighbourhood an 8.6 on Buurtje.nl. Education (9.7), accessibility (9.3) and the quality of housing (9.3) score notably high. Resident R. Kok calls it a "top location for commuters" with all amenities within walking distance: public transport, shops, schools and sports. Another resident is honest: "Nice people, but boring." And that is actually a fitting summary. Weidevenne is not a bustling city neighbourhood; it is a quiet, well-organised place where you live comfortably without many surprises. Resident Noa writes that she finds it a nice neighbourhood, but that contact with neighbours remains limited, something she partly attributes to herself. The score for sense of community (8.0) confirms that picture: fine, but not close-knit.
In terms of amenities, Weidevenne has shopping centre Savanne as a central point, with an Albert Heijn, Aldi and various specialist shops. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including De Wheermolen and OBS Weidevenne, and daycare centres are well represented. Sports park De Beemster lies on the edge of the neighbourhood and offers space for football and tennis. Green space scores the lowest of all categories at 6.3, and that is accurate: there are parks and playgrounds, but large parks or open water you have to look for outside the neighbourhood. Accessibility is a strong point. Bus lines towards Purmerend station and Amsterdam depart frequently, and via the N235 and A7 you are within half an hour on the Amsterdam ring road. The neighbourhood Hazepolder is closest to the main roads. More information about the municipality can be found on the Purmerend website.
Which buyers is Weidevenne suitable for?
Weidevenne mainly attracts families and movers who are looking for space without paying Amsterdam prices. With an average purchase price of over €560,000, it is not a starter neighbourhood, unless you are considering buying an apartment in Weidevenne at the lower end of the market. Keep in mind additional costs: transfer tax (2% for homes), notary and valuation costs can quickly add up to €10,000 extra. Overbidding occurs, especially for popular family homes in neighbourhoods such as Amerika and Afrika.

Great neighbourhood with all amenities such as public transport, shops, schools, sports
Auto-translated to English by AINice people but boring
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood to live in. We ourselves don't have much contact with all the neighbours, so I can't say whether our area is good in that regard, but that of course also depends on the residents themselves. There are many schools nearby, so plenty of choice. There are also many public transport options, so you are well connected to other cities, which is nice for students like me. Public transport here is not flawless, but certainly not bad either. There is a meadow nearby and almost everywhere in Purmerend you have a canal with a cycling/walking path, which are nice places to walk dogs. A large part of the Afrika neighbourhood is connected by water, so you can also go boating and swimming. The neighbourhoods often look well-maintained. You usually find a can or a piece of paper here and there, but I think that's the case everywhere. As for facilities: there is a cinema, hospital, bowling alley, swimming pool, several parks and playgrounds. Supermarkets are abundant: Lidl, Dirk, Spar, several Vomar and Albert Heijn stores. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants. In the centre, which is a 15-minute bike ride away, you also have shops like H&M, Only, Douglas, Ici Paris XL. There is also Weidevenne shopping centre, which is even closer, where you can find everything for your groceries. There is a market there every Thursday and in the centre every Tuesday.
