Noord-Scharwoude Oost, Dijk en Waard
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Willem de Zwijgerstraat sits in a quiet part of Noord-Scharwoude, where the streets are lined with mature trees and neighbours still greet each other. With 150 m² of living space and a 234 m² plot, it offers room to spread out, something that's becoming rarer in this corner of North Holland. The asking price of €489,000 is in line with what other semi-detached houses in Dijk en Waard typically go for.
The neighbourhood Noord-Scharwoude Oost feels like a small community. One resident describes it as 'a decent neighbourhood but still room for improvement', noting that it feels much safer than the city. Another says: 'It's really a village-like neighbourhood, lots of beautiful old-fashioned houses and people greeting each other.' The area is moderately urban, with a mix of families and older residents. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.3 out of 10, a solid, lived-in place where people appreciate the peace but wish for a few more shops.
For your morning loaf, the Aldi and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner, and the Vomar is a couple of streets away. Primary school De Wijde Veert is a five-minute walk, and IKC Waterrijk is a bit further. For secondary school, you'd head to CSG Jan Arentsz, about a ten-minute cycle. The municipality Dijk en Waard has invested in greenery and flowers, which residents appreciate, though they'd love a park with benches by the water.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Appelman & Deutekom - Makelaardij & Taxaties and also appears on Funda. The energy label is E, so heating costs are something to factor in. The house was built in 1968, so it has character but may need some updating.

I lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer. The only thing I miss is nature, forests, etc., and that's hard to reach without a car or a long bike ride. For example, going to Bergen aan Zee or Schoorl requires taking the bus via Alkmaar station, which is quite a detour and expensive for a walk or an evening to blow off steam. The AH and the Toko versmarkt are great. But I wish for a Bakker Bart or Hema in the neighbourhood. Or at least more familiar shops that are affordable. The clothing boutiques are very inaccessible. That's why charity shops are so important in this neighbourhood. I also found it a shame that too little is invested in charity shops. One has already gone bankrupt for this reason and the last one is threatening to do so. Furthermore, it can be difficult to get in touch with people. Because everyone in a village knows each other. But if you're new, as far as I know there aren't really activities or community centres. Especially as a 20-something, that's a shame. Otherwise, I think it's really great how much has been invested in greenery and flowers. That will do the bees a lot of good! And if a park were ever to be made, that would be even better for the greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's really a village-like neighbourhood, lots of beautiful old-fashioned houses and people greeting each other. Too bad there's no bakery, HEMA, Action, or Kruidvat. That would make it much better because now I have to take the bus to Langedijk or Alkmaar to have access to more usual shops. It would also be better if there were more frequent buses to Alkmaar, since that's where most things are. Travelling to this place takes longer than necessary if there were more amenities. There are sometimes annoying loitering youths in the street in the evening. But during the day it's absolutely fine. I also regret that there is no direct bus to the Geestmerambacht recreation park, because that's the largest piece of nature, which is a bit far if you're not mobile or don't have a car. And at the Schoutenbos there's nowhere to sit properly or enjoy the water. Furthermore, branches on the street and houses should be better removed by the officials. But I see very little litter on the street, so that's great.

About Willem de Zwijgerstraat 3, Noord-Scharwoude

Residents describe it as a safe, village-like area where people greet each other. It's moderately urban with a mix of families and older residents. Some wish for more shops and better public transport, but the greenery and quiet streets are appreciated. The neighbourhood scores 6.3 out of 10 from three reviews.
The nearest train station is 5.2 km away, so you'd need a car or bus for rail connections. The bus to Alkmaar station is an option, but residents note it can be a detour. For daily commuting, a car is more practical.
The Aldi and Albert Heijn are both within 500 metres, just around the corner. The Vomar is about 850 metres away, a couple of streets over. For a wider range, you'd head to Alkmaar or Langedijk.
