Living in Westerdel Zuid, Dijk en Waard

Westerdel Zuid is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the south side of Broek op Langedijk, a village traditionally known for its location in the North Holland polder landscape. The neighbourhood has a distinct village character: low building density, plenty of greenery around the homes and a sense of space that you don't quickly find in more urban neighbourhoods. The homes for sale here are therefore not standard terraced houses, but more spacious properties with their own plot, fitting the rural surroundings.

The population largely consists of young families; the 25-45 age group is the largest and households with children form the biggest category. This is noticeable in the neighbourhood: there are playgrounds, it is safe on the streets and social cohesion is high. Resident Flick gives the neighbourhood an 8.6 and describes it aptly: "I think it's a beautiful and neat neighbourhood and I enjoy living there. Lovely nature and you have nice playgrounds for the children." That combination of nature and family-friendliness is precisely what characterises Westerdel Zuid.

For daily shopping you can go to the centre of Broek op Langedijk, a short bike ride away. There you will find supermarket facilities and local shops. For a larger range of shops, Alkmaar is the designated city, about ten to fifteen minutes by car. Primary education is well organised in the area, which is also reflected in the resident score for education: a perfect 10. Sports clubs and recreational opportunities are available in and around Broek op Langedijk, partly thanks to the typical North Holland polder ditches and canals that surround the neighbourhood.

In terms of accessibility, Westerdel Zuid scores a 9 from residents. By car, you can quickly reach the A9 towards Amsterdam or Alkmaar via the N243. Public transport goes via bus connections to Alkmaar railway station, from where you can reach Amsterdam Central in about 35 minutes. Cycling is very normal in this flat landscape and for many daily trips it is the most practical choice.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Broek op Langedijk kern and Mayersloot Zuid, Westerdel Zuid is somewhat more on the edge, which contributes to the peace but also means you are slightly more dependent on the car.
