NeighbourhoodThis two-under-one-roof house on Purmerland 330 sits in the Afrika neighbourhood of Purmerend, a quiet residential area with plenty of water and greenery. With 163 m² of living space and a 273 m² plot, it offers room for a family. The price of €900,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Purmerend, but the energy label A and the 2003 build year mean low running costs.
One resident describes the neighbourhood Afrika as "a very nice neighbourhood to live in." They mention the many schools nearby, good public transport connections, and the abundance of water: "A large part of the Afrika neighbourhood is connected by water, so you can also go boating and swimming." The neighbourhood is well-maintained, with parks, playgrounds, and a cinema, hospital, bowling alley, and swimming pool within reach. Most homes are owner-occupied (69%) and two-thirds are single-family houses, so it's a stable, family-oriented area.

I think it's a very nice neighbourhood to live in. We ourselves don't have much contact with all the neighbours, so I can't say whether our area is good in that regard, but that of course also depends on the residents themselves. There are many schools nearby, so plenty of choice. There are also many public transport options, so you are well connected to other cities, which is nice for students like me. Public transport here is not flawless, but certainly not bad either. There is a meadow nearby and almost everywhere in Purmerend you have a canal with a cycling/walking path, which are nice places to walk dogs. A large part of the Afrika neighbourhood is connected by water, so you can also go boating and swimming. The neighbourhoods often look well-maintained. You usually find a can or a piece of paper here and there, but I think that's the case everywhere. As for facilities: there is a cinema, hospital, bowling alley, swimming pool, several parks and playgrounds. Supermarkets are abundant: Lidl, Dirk, Spar, several Vomar and Albert Heijn stores. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants. In the centre, which is a 15-minute bike ride away, you also have shops like H&M, Only, Douglas, Ici Paris XL. There is also Weidevenne shopping centre, which is even closer, where you can find everything for your groceries. There is a market there every Thursday and in the centre every Tuesday.

About Purmerland 330, Purmerend
The asking price of €900,000 is on the high side compared to other two-under-one-roof homes in Purmerend. However, with 163 m² of living space, a 273 m² plot, energy label A, and a 2003 build year, the home is modern and efficient. The neighbourhood is well-regarded, which may justify the premium.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and low energy costs. Built in 2003, it likely meets modern building standards, so you can expect reasonable heating and electricity bills.
The nearest train station is 1.3 km away, about a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute bike ride. This gives you a direct connection to other cities, as noted by a resident.
