The Binnenstad neighbourhood
Binnenstad is the historic centre of Purmerend, with a high address density of 2,876 addresses per km², very urban. The population is around 1,800, with many single-person households (740) and relatively few families with children (150). The area has a mix of old and new: 46% of homes were built before 1945, and 18% after 2010. Most homes for sale had energy labels A or better (43%), but this studio had label D, so heating costs might be higher. The Binnenstad neighbourhood has a lively, central feel.
Life on the street
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Aldi and Dekamarkt are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as Openbare Basisschool Weidevogels and Kindcentrum Willem Eggert. Secondary schools like Vonk Purmerend and Da Vinci College are also nearby. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and library is even closer. The municipality of Purmerend offers all amenities within easy reach.
