De Mare is a neighbourhood of contrasts. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident says: "Pleasant neighbourhood to live in, often rubbish is dumped, people think that bulky waste is collected every day. Furthermore, occasionally some loitering youths by the bridges but I haven't been bothered by that yet. Schools within walking distance, and plenty of green spaces." Another notes: "Scandalously deteriorated in the 40 years I've lived here." The area has many single-person households and a fair share of older residents. It's a dense, urban neighbourhood with plenty of amenities nearby. The municipality of Alkmaar manages the area.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner, with Lidl and Dekamarkt a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Schools are close: Stedelijk Dalton College Alkmaar is on your doorstep, and primary schools DURF and 't Baeken are within a few minutes' walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and green spaces are just around the corner.

Have 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.

The median price in the neighbourhood is €350,000, but that includes all property types. Given its size and energy label B, the price is competitive without being a bargain.
De Mare is a dense urban neighbourhood with a mix of residents. It has many single-person households and a significant number of older people. Reviews are mixed: some appreciate the green spaces and nearby schools, while others note littering and occasional loitering. The area has a high address density, so it feels lively but not always tidy.
The nearest supermarket is Vomar, just 391 metres away, about a five-minute walk. Lidl and Dekamarkt are also within a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is 549 metres away. So daily groceries are very convenient.
