Schermereiland en Omval, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Tienenwal is a neat, no-fuss home in a part of Alkmaar that feels calm and green. At 33 m² it's compact, but the layout makes the most of the space. The price of €209,000 is noticeably lower than the neighbourhood average, partly because of the size, but it's a realistic entry point into the market. For context, the average studios in Alkmaar tend to be smaller and more affordable than family homes, so this one sits in line with what you'd expect for a studio.
The neighbourhood Schermereiland en Omval is a varied area with a mix of families, couples and singles. Around a third of households have children, and the streets are lively but not hectic. The urban density is high, over 2,800 addresses per km², yet there's a surprising amount of green space nearby. One resident says: "It's quiet but you're never far from the city centre." Another notes: "The neighbours are friendly and the park is just a short walk away." Based on the available reviews, people appreciate the balance of peace and convenience.
For your morning bread or a quick dinner, the SPAR is just around the corner, and there's an Ekoplaza and an Aldi a couple of streets away. If you have children, the Catholic primary school Matthias is a five-minute walk, and the Sint Adelbertusschool is also within easy reach. The municipality Alkmaar has good facilities overall, and the train station is about a ten-minute walk, handy for commuting to Amsterdam or Haarlem.

About Tienenwal 4D, Alkmaar
The asking price is €209,000, which is 66% below the average neighbourhood asking price of €613,917. However, that average includes much larger family homes. For a studio of 33 m², the price per m² works out at about €6,333, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,594 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
