Recreatiebuurt, Dijk en Waard
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Azalealaan sits in a peaceful part of Heerhugowaard, with a friendly, established feel. The 103 m² floor area and 150 m² plot give you a decent amount of space, both inside and out. Built in 1969, it has an energy label C, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. At €300,000, the asking price is 47% below the neighbourhood average of €562,350, which makes it a keen option compared to other terraced houses in Dijk en Waard.
The Recreatiebuurt neighbourhood is home to around 2,210 people, with a mix of ages, a fair number of over-65s and families with children. It's a fairly urban area, with plenty of amenities close by. One resident describes it as a 'quiet neighbourhood' where 'shops are conveniently close', though they note that parking can be a bit of a hassle due to the permit system. Based on that single review, it seems a pleasant, no-fuss place to live.
For your daily shopping, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, with Vomar a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance, including Kindcentrum De Boomladder (primary) and Trinitas College - Han Fortmann (secondary), both a short stroll from the house. The area also has a GP practice, a park, and a restaurant nearby, so most essentials are within easy reach.

The asking price of €300,000 is 47% below the average asking price in the Recreatiebuurt neighbourhood (€562,350). That makes it a keen price compared to other homes currently on the market. However, the neighbourhood average is based on a mix of property types, so it's worth considering the specifics of this house.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale, it's not the most efficient, but it's also not the least. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the label alone doesn't tell you exactly what the heating or insulation is like.
The Recreatiebuurt neighbourhood has a mix of households, with about 275 households with children and several schools within walking distance. The resident review mentions it's a quiet environment, which many families appreciate. There are also parks and playgrounds nearby.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very cosy. There are many events on the Kruis that are often very enjoyable for young and old. The architecture of the houses doesn't match well. And the neighbours are all friendly and everyone knows each other a bit. We are only quite far from the station and I think there is little entertainment in the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII 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.
