Living in Zuidbroek, Heemskerk
Zuidbroek is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Heemskerk, with a recognisable character that you won't find in every North Holland municipality. The neighbourhood largely consists of homes built in the 1970s and 1980s: straight streets, front gardens, familiar neighbours, little traffic. Resident Reinaard Krijger describes it succinctly but aptly: "Very quiet, almost nothing ever happens." That is not criticism, but a characterisation. If you are looking for peace and have little need for urban hustle and bustle, this is a good place to be.
The average age of residents is relatively high. The largest group is 45 to 65 years old (705 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (605 people). This colours the atmosphere in the neighbourhood: it is not a place where you expect much activity on the streets in the evening, but also a place where people know each other and keep the neighbourhood tidy. The community score in resident reviews stands at 5.0 out of 10, indicating that social cohesion is not particularly strong. At the same time, safety and beauty both score a 10, and amenities and accessibility are also highly rated.

The same applies to schools: there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and the education score stands at 7. Sports clubs and recreational areas such as the Assumerbos are nearby, and the greenery in the neighbourhood itself scores a 7.
