About Havikweg 1, Alkmaar
The asking price of €355,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €464,136. The median asking price in De Horn-Noord is €389,000, so this home is priced below that too. The average price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €3,872, while this home is listed at €3,381 per m² based on the agent's floor area. This suggests the price is on the low side compared with the local market.

The home also has roof and wall insulation, partial double glazing, and a central heating boiler.
The WOZ value is the municipal valuation used for taxes, and it is not available here. Without it, we cannot compare the asking price with the official valuation or show how the value has developed over the past five years. This information is simply missing from the data we have.
The noise level from road traffic is 59 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Railway noise is 28 dB Lden and aircraft noise is 36 dB Lden, both below the norm. These are area-level indications based on public data, not measurements at the property itself. If noise is a concern, you may want to consider this information, but we cannot advise on it.

De Horn-Noord has about 3,235 residents, with a mix of ages. According to reviews from the wider district, residents have mixed feelings: one says "All facilities in the neighbourhood, nice neighbours, only shame about the youth causing unrest," while another says "It's every man for himself, no cleaning up." These reviews reflect the district, not just this street. The neighbourhood has a housing stock of 1,504 homes, mostly single-family houses.
The energy label is C. This is a mid-range label, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The home has roof and wall insulation and partial double glazing, which may help, but the label itself indicates the overall energy performance. Lower labels like G mean higher costs, while higher labels like A are more efficient. For this home, label C suggests a reasonable balance.
The foundation risk indication is low, but the soil is clay, which is sensitive to settling. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this home. For flooding, the current risk is low, and it is expected to remain low in 2050. Pluvial flooding from heavy rain is also low. Heat stress is currently low but is expected to become medium by 2050. These are based on public data and should be considered as general indications.

The listing does not state a WOZ value, and some details may be missing. However, the agent has provided information on rooms, floor area, garden, and insulation. We cannot speculate on why it is missing, but the available information is presented here.

How residents experience their district
It'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 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 AIVery nice neighbours, good contact. Nice by the water. Only the youth is less. Breaking things, noise nuisance, drug bags on the ground (while walking the dog), setting off fireworks, teasing the dog, not cleaning up mess. Green a colourful verge with many poisonous plants for animals and people. Many social housing homes very damp, lots of mould, cracks in the walls, not insulated. Drains always blocked.
Auto-translated to English by AIthis neighbourhood is at the end of a dead-end street that opens into a park. the park has sports fields, nature trails, and horses and sheep roam. it borders a lake where you can skate in winter and swim in summer. the centre of Alkmaar is a 20-minute bike ride away. there are plenty of public transport lines to the central station, the centre, and shopping centre de Mare. Shopping centre de Mare is 1.5 km away with many shops for daily groceries but also for extensive shopping. this neighbourhood is the ideal neighbourhood to raise your children
Auto-translated to English by AIScandalously deteriorated in the 40 years I've lived here.
Auto-translated to English by AINot a pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Lots of "special" tenants with mental health care, Brijder Stichting, TBS, alcohol and drug users. I only feel safe when I'm inside my home. The housing association does nothing about the noise and smell nuisance. For 15 years I've regularly had the smell of weed in my home. A mentally disturbed neighbour who makes noise and has threatened me several times, at least one death threat. Cars parked outside the lines, blocking the road to my home. But now the municipality has placed extra concrete bollards, which helps. Neighbours who think the law and rules don't apply to them and then complain about my garden. A noisy, small child upstairs who screams and yells constantly, and is generally unruly, with the mother screaming back. The homes are so poorly soundproofed that I can hear my neighbour sneeze. Unfortunately, I cannot move.
Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of noise nuisance from neighbours and festivals or funfair in the neighbourhood

How residents experience their municipality
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.
