Sluisdijk, Den Helder
NeighbourhoodThis 1862 terraced house on Parallelweg in Den Helder is a real starter home. With 78 m² of living space and a 100 m² plot, it's compact but has its own front and back door. The energy label G means heating costs will be significant, but the asking price of €199,000 is keen, it's the cheapest of the five homes currently for sale in Sluisdijk and 34% below the neighbourhood average. For context, terraced houses in Den Helder typically sell for more.
Sluisdijk is a densely built urban area with a mix of single-family homes and flats. One resident describes it as 'Welcome to little Baghdad', noting that while it initially felt like a friendly working-class neighbourhood, recent months have brought problems with dealers, junkies, and vandalism, making people feel unsafe after dark. The review is based on a single review, so it's one perspective. The area has a high density of addresses (3,098 per km²) and a relatively young population, with many single-person households. Neighbourhood Sluisdijk has its challenges, but also a strong sense of community.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar and Lidl are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including IKC Driemaster and Dr. J.P. Thijsse, both about a five-minute walk. The train station is also just around the corner, making commuting easy. The municipality Den Helder offers further amenities like restaurants and a library within a few minutes' walk.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including A&A Makelaardij, Pararius, and Funda.

I moved here just over a year ago. At first I experienced it as a friendly working-class neighbourhood. But in the last six months we've been terrorised by dealers and junkies, firecracker bombs in the underground bins, firecracker bombs at doors in the middle of the night, firecracker bombs in the middle of the street in broad daylight, car break-ins, vandalism, you no longer feel safe on the street in the evening when it gets dark, children are not allowed to play outside by their parents because the junkies are hanging around everywhere, and it seems to us as a neighbourhood as if the municipality and police/enforcement are doing nothing about it. The only thing enforcement does here is write fines for illegally parked cars, and thus harass the hardworking citizen, instead of maintaining safety in this area.

About Parallelweg 77, Den Helder
At €199,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Sluisdijk and 34% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €302,400. However, the floor area is 35% smaller than the average (78 m² vs 120 m²), and the energy label G means high energy costs. So the price reflects the size and condition.
Sluisdijk is a densely populated urban area with a mix of housing. One resident describes it as a 'friendly working-class neighbourhood' but reports recent issues with dealers and vandalism, making them feel unsafe after dark. The area has a high density of addresses and a relatively young population.
The train station is just around the corner, about 400 metres away, so you can walk there in a few minutes.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (216 m), and there's another Albert Heijn a bit further (356 m). Vomar and Lidl are also within walking distance, about 650-930 m away.
Several primary schools are within a five-minute walk, including IKC Driemaster (452 m), Dr. J.P. Thijsse (460 m), and Kindcentrum De Windwijzer (489 m). Secondary schools are further away, about 2.6 km.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating costs. The home was built in 1862, so it likely has poor insulation and single glazing.
The plot is 100 m², but the listing does not specify a garden. The plot size suggests there is outdoor space, but it's not confirmed whether it's a garden, courtyard, or something else.
