About Dokter Heringastraat 3, Stompetoren
The asking price of €489,000 is 2% above the WOZ value of €480,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the market value. Over the past five years, the WOZ value has increased by 80%, from €266,000 in 2020 to €480,000 in 2025.
According to the agent, the house has 5 rooms, including 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, spread over 3 floors. The living area is 96 m², and the plot is 341 m². There is a garden on three sides, facing south, and a detached brick garage. The property is freehold and has mostly double glazing and a central heating boiler.
The energy label is D. This is not the most efficient label, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The agent notes that the home has mostly double glazing, which can help with insulation. However, the label itself does not tell you about the condition of the construction.
According to public data, the road traffic noise level is 62 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Aircraft noise is 38 dB Lden, which is below the norm. These are area-level indications based on 2022 data, not measurements at the property itself.
The foundation risk indication is medium, according to area-level data. The home was built in 1966 on clay soil, which may mean wooden piles or a shallow foundation. In this postcode area, 56% of buildings were constructed before 1970. This is an indication, not an inspection of this specific property.
The pluvial flooding risk is elevated, meaning there is a higher chance of flooding from heavy rain. The current flood risk is medium, and the risk for 2050 is also medium. These are area-level indications from the Klimaateffectatlas, not a guarantee for this specific home.

How residents experience their district
Grootschermer is a village that feels as if time has stood still. It lies in the middle of the North Holland polder landscape, surrounded by meadows, ditches, and old dikes. What strikes me most is the peace and quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the city. The proximity of the De Eilandspolder nature reserve made it complete; ideal for a canoe trip or birdwatching. Grootschermer is small, but big in charm. A place where you can unwind and reconnect with the landscape and history of the Netherlands.

How residents experience their municipality
Nare buurt. Veel wantrouwen tussen de bewoners. Veel geluidsoverlast dag en nacht. Veel straatvuil. Mensen zetten vuil naast de ondergrondse afval containers. De angst regeert. Mensen spreken elkaar niet aan op gedrag. Voortuinen vol tegels. De huizen zijn oud en gehorig.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's every man for himself, no cleaning up, just making a mess, not looking out for each other or taking each other into consideration.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnsafe in the evenings
Auto-translated to English by AIAll facilities in the neighbourhood, nice neighbours, only shame about the youth causing unrest. And that the youth don't clean up their mess, so very unhygienic in the neighbourhood. Cleaning up a bit works wonders.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood typical Alkmaar feels like city and village in one
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat, unfortunately the one next to it is less safe. Improvement is that more attention is paid to safety and conditions around the flat next door.
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent, few burglaries. I live in the city so fairly little greenery, but enough within a few minutes' drive
