The asking price of €649,000 is in line with the market for semi-detached houses in Alkmaar. The home has 158 m² of living space and a 417 m² plot, built in 1988 with energy label C. Without specific neighbourhood sales data, it's hard to say more, but the price appears reasonable for what's on offer.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale: it means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not tell you exactly which parts of the home are insulated or how the heating system performs.
The nearest train station is 12.1 km away. That makes it a bit of a drive or a long cycle. For daily commuting by train, you would need to factor in travel time to the station.

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
