Noord-Scharwoude Oost, Dijk en Waard
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Dorpsstraat is a compact piece of history, built in 1905. With 37 m² of floor space, it's a cosy home for one. The energy label E means heating costs will be noticeable. At €299,000, the price is on the high side compared to other studios in Dijk en Waard.
Residents describe it as a safe, village-like neighbourhood where people greet each other. One resident says: "I lived in a city for years and since moving here it feels much safer." Another notes: "It's really a village-like neighbourhood, lots of beautiful old-fashioned houses." However, amenities are limited: there's no bakery, HEMA or Kruidvat, and public transport to Alkmaar could be better. The neighbourhood Noord-Scharwoude Oost has a mix of families and older residents, with many owner-occupied homes.
For your groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is a five-minute walk away. The nearest primary school, De Wijde Veert, is on your doorstep. For secondary school, children travel to CSG Jan Arentsz, about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Dijk en Waard offers parks and a restaurant within walking distance.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Bakker Schoon Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Funda.

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 Dorpsstraat 572, Noord-Scharwoude

Noord-Scharwoude Oost is a quiet, safe village neighbourhood. One resident in their 20s noted that it can be hard to meet people, as there aren't many activities or community centres. The lack of a bakery or HEMA means you'll need to travel to Langedijk or Alkmaar for more shopping. Public transport to Alkmaar is available but not very frequent.
The nearest train station is 5.2 km away. That's about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. There is a bus connection, but it requires a detour via Alkmaar station for some destinations.
Albert Heijn is just 189 metres away, so bread and groceries are on your doorstep. Vomar is 540 metres away, a five-minute walk. For other shops like a bakery or drugstore, you'll need to go to Langedijk or Alkmaar.
The listing does not mention a garden or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but this specific home's label is E.
