About Hadewijchstraat 171, Alkmaar
The asking price of €250,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €225,000 for homes currently for sale. However, the average sold price in the area was €306,000, so the market has seen higher prices. The price per square metre (€5,952) is also above the neighbourhood average of €5,357. Whether it's fair depends on your budget and how much you value the location.
The energy label is E. This is an official registration (EP-Online) and indicates the home's energy performance. Label E is less efficient than the highest labels, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to a home with label A or B. The label does not directly tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system.
Resident reviews are mixed. One resident says the area feels "unsafe in the evenings", while another describes it as a "nice and safe neighbourhood". The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 148, but without a per-capita comparison, it's hard to judge. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel for the area.
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, which is about a 40-minute walk or a short bike ride. For train travel, you would need to cycle or take a bus to the station.
The listing states it is a studio, which typically means one open-plan living/sleeping area plus a separate kitchen and bathroom.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. You would need to ask the agent about this.

How residents experience their district
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 AIBad neighbourhood, it was the only house I could get unfortunately! Lots of scum live here and many foreigners, it looks like the Bijlmer in Amsterdam. A lot of rubbish is dumped on the streets, you don't see much police in the area. A lot of violence on the streets by fatbike youths.
Auto-translated to English by AIToo many immigrants are moving in, causing a lot of problems. A lot of nuisance from loitering youths and fireworks. It used to be a nice working-class neighbourhood, unfortunately not anymore.
Auto-translated to English by AIMulticultural neighbourhood, friendly, kind elderly and young people. People look out for each other, social and empathetic. Two community centres and a neighbourhood farm with activities. Nice park for children in the playground, for the elderly to walk, to exercise. Feels safe and familiar. GPs, shops, care centre nearby. In short, a great neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 3 weeks now. The people I've met so far are all very friendly. I look out onto Oosterpark, very tree-rich. Very pleasant to live.

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 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
