Oud-IJmuiden, Velsen
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Kanaalstraat in IJmuiden is a real character home, built in 1877 and full of old-world charm. With 134 m² of space, it offers generous proportions that are rare for a flat. The price of €950,000 is well above the neighbourhood average, 39% higher than the typical asking price in Oud-IJmuiden. For context, apartments in Velsen vary widely, but this one is clearly at the top end.
Oud-IJmuiden is a mixed area with around 2,870 residents. One resident describes it as a "beautiful new neighbourhood" but notes: "The new houses are beautiful, unfortunately there is little greenery and no shops. Different kinds of people live here." The neighbourhood has a high proportion of new-build homes (nearly 69% built after 2010), yet this apartment dates from 1877, a real contrast. The neighbourhood Oud-IJmuiden is fairly urban, with an address density of 1,995 per km².
For your morning bread, you have Dekamarkt and Vomar both just over a kilometre away, a ten-minute walk. Lidl is a couple of streets further. The nearest primary school, De Klipper, is about 700 metres away, so a short stroll for the kids. Kindcentrum De Pleiaden and Het Kompas are also within walking distance. The municipality Velsen offers a mix of coastal and urban living, with the beach and dunes not far off.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via G&O Makelaars.

About Kanaalstraat 40, Ijmuiden
The asking price is €950,000, which is 39% above the average asking price in Oud-IJmuiden (€683,467). The median price in the neighbourhood is €618,500, so this is a premium listing. The high price reflects the large floor area (134 m²) and the historic character, but it's significantly more than most homes in the area.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property. You should expect higher energy bills compared to a modern home.
The building was constructed in 1877, making it one of the oldest homes in Oud-IJmuiden, only 25% of homes in the area date from before 1945. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should assume the property needs updating, especially given the F energy label.
Oud-IJmuiden has a mix of old and new housing, with many modern developments. One resident says: 'The new houses are beautiful, unfortunately there is little greenery and no shops. Different kinds of people live here.' The area scores 6 out of 10 from one review. It's fairly urban with good access to amenities like schools and supermarkets.
The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so you'll need a car or bus for rail connections. The area is better suited for driving, with the beach and dunes nearby.

The price per m² is approximately €7,090 (€950,000 / 134 m²). The neighbourhood average is €4,509 per m², so this is significantly higher. However, the home is larger than average (134 m² vs 167 m² average for sold homes, but the average sold price is lower).
