The Westerkoog neighbourhood is a green and accessible area. Trees are everywhere and there are plenty of parks. Especially the nearby polder Westzijderveld is a beautiful and unique area. Certainly for birdwatchers! Many different birds forage there. You can see, among others, the buzzard and the marsh harrier. With a bit of luck you can see the kingfisher. Via the Westerwindpad and the Schelpenpad you can walk or cycle to station Koog aan de Zaan. This station has a eatery. You can also pick up food there. By car you can easily get there. Parking is available, but limited. Free though. The shopping centre looks cosy and has various shops. You can park your car there for free. The neighbourhood is sufficiently clean and tidy. There are rubbish bins here and there. I find the safety there somewhat less. In the evenings it can be noisy due to groups of youngsters and scooter riders. The community is diverse: working-class, yuppies, families, elderly and young people. The housing is reasonable: flats, rental and owner-occupied homes. There are two primary schools. And you know what's so unique there: a boxing school for the youth! Right in the centre.
