Emmakwartier, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On a wide, tree-lined street in Alkmaar's Emmakwartier, this 1916 terraced house has 295 m² of living space and an A energy label, a rare combination of period character and modern efficiency. At €1,250,000 it is the most expensive of the 12 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and 63% above the average asking price of €766,792. That premium reflects the exceptional size: the floor area is 93% larger than the neighbourhood average of 153 m². For context, terraced houses in Alkmaar at this level are uncommon.
The Emmakwartier is a residential pocket just south of Alkmaar's centre, with a calm, established feel. All homes here were built before 1945, giving the streets a cohesive, early-20th-century character. The population is older, a third are 65-plus, and households are mostly singles or couples without children. Incomes are above average for the municipality. The area is very urban (address density 4,195 per km²), yet it has a park or public garden just 300 metres away. There are no resident reviews in the data, so the picture comes from the figures: a quiet, well-to-do neighbourhood of large pre-war homes. The Emmakwartier neighbourhood is one of Alkmaar's most sought-after addresses.
For your morning bread, the AH XL is a ten-minute walk away, and Ekoplaza and Jumbo are also within easy reach. Primary-school children can walk to Openbare Basisschool De Kennemerpoort in about five minutes; secondary pupils head to PCC Het Lyceum, a similar distance. The train station is 1.7 km away, a 20-minute walk or short cycle. A GP is 500 metres from the door, and the city centre with its restaurants and library is just around the corner. The municipality of Alkmaar offers all the amenities of a historic city within a compact area.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van der Borden Vastgoedprofessionals - Alkmaar.
