Binnenstad-West, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis 1910 terraced house on Ruitersteeg sits in the heart of Alkmaar's old centre, with the cheese market and canals just a stroll away. At 64 m² over three floors, it's compact but full of character, with an energy label E so heating costs will be something to factor in. The asking price of €395,000 is in line with the average for terraced houses in Alkmaar, though the median in the neighbourhood is lower.
Binnenstad-West is the most densely populated part of Alkmaar, with over 4,300 addresses per km². It's a young area, nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. The streets are busy, with restaurants and cafes just around the corner. Two-thirds of homes were built before 1945, so period features are the norm. The neighbourhood Binnenstad-West has a mix of rental and owner-occupied properties, and the crime rate is relatively high for the city.
For groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool De Kennemerpoort and RK Basisschool De Kring. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality Alkmaar offers all the amenities you'd expect from a provincial capital.

About Ruitersteeg 2, Alkmaar
The asking price of €395,000 is very close to the average sale price in the neighbourhood (€394,318) and slightly above the median of €350,000. Given the central location and period character, it's in line with the market for a terraced house of this size in Binnenstad-West.
Energy label E indicates the home is not very energy-efficient. With a 1910 build and no mention of double glazing or insulation, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but nearly 39% of homes are rated D or lower.
Binnenstad-West is very popular with young professionals, nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. The area is densely built and lively, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool De Kennemerpoort (324 m) and RK Basisschool De Kring (384 m). For secondary education, Murmellius Gymnasium is about 500 m away.
