Stad van de Zon, Dijk en Waard
NeighbourhoodThis two-under-one-roof home on Noorderlicht sits in a quiet, green corner of Heerhugowaard. With 165 m² of living space and a 400 m² plot, it's a proper family home, and at €699,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but you're getting a lot more square metres than most. For context, semi-detached houses in Dijk en Waard typically sell for less, but this one stands out for its size.
Stad van de Zon is a modern residential area built mostly between 1990 and 2010, so the streets are tidy and the houses are well-insulated. Two residents describe it as "stress free" and "peaceful". One says: "A beautiful neighbourhood where you can easily park inside or outside your garden. There is a playground right outside your door where the children can play, and it's 2 minutes from the beach." Another adds: "My neighbourhood has a beautiful green grass field where children can play nicely and parents can sit on a bench, nearby there is a small beach so some houses have a view of the water." Both note it's not the most social neighbourhood, but that doesn't take away from the calm, safe atmosphere. The area is popular with families, two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied, and many households have children. For more on the area, see municipality Dijk en Waard.
For your morning bread run, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are two primary schools within a couple of streets: OBS Atalanta is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Reflector is just a bit further. A playground is right outside your door, and the park or public garden is a couple of streets away. The train station is a bit further out, so a car or bike is handy for commuting.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Appelman & Deutekom - Makelaardij & Taxaties.

A beautiful neighbourhood where you can easily park inside or outside your garden. There is a playground right outside your door where the children can play, and it's 2 minutes from the beach. The primary school is also 2 minutes from your home, and the neighbourhood is very clean and safe. The only downside is that it's not the most social neighbourhood, so that's the only "letdown" in my opinion. Otherwise, very happy with my neighbourhood and home!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood has a beautiful green grass field where children can play nicely and parents can sit on a bench, nearby there is a small beach so some houses have a view of the water. There is a nice parking spot for both in and out of your garden so you never have to worry about that, and the neighbourhood is full of young and old people so there is never a shortage of children playing outside. Although the neighbourhood is not social with each other, it is still a neighbourhood where you can live peacefully and simply.
