Nice neighbourhood for small children and young families. Good amenities in the area in terms of shops and schools. Safe for children to play. Pleasant social control. Too little parking, especially when schools start and end. Sometimes nuisance from young people, although that has been going very well lately. Cosy and social neighbours and neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIFantastic neighbourhood, lots of contact with each other, also when ill and we take groceries for each other. If something is wrong we help each other, for example during a storm saving a roof by means of a tarp if you see the neighbour struggling. And so much more. Behind here lie the meadows from Assendelft to Beverwijk. Uitgeest. We'll stay here until the end!♡♡♡♡
Auto-translated to English by AIVery social neighbourhood with nice people. For example, if someone is ill, another person does their grocery shopping, etc. Occasionally a party, but you just join in everyone's party. We look after each other's cats when away. The only thing everyone is annoyed by is the weeds that new neighbours don't remove in the alleys, and unfortunately you're not allowed to say anything about it. The older residents always do it, and you have to cycle through them.

About Gouwsingel 31, Assendelft

Residents rate it highly for families. One says it's 'nice for small children and young families' with good amenities and safe streets. Another mentions the social atmosphere: neighbours help each other with groceries or during storms. There are several primary schools within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 3.9 km away, so you'll need a bike or car for public transport connections. The area is moderately urban, so most daily needs are within walking or cycling distance.
PLUS is 425 m away, Lidl is 456 m, and Albert Heijn is 845 m. All are within a short walk or cycle, making daily grocery shopping easy.
Label E indicates the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a more modern home. It's worth factoring this into your monthly budget.
Some residents mention limited parking, especially around school times. The home has a driveway and possibly a garage, but street parking can be tight. It's something to consider if you have multiple cars.
