De Mare, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis terrace house on Schoklandstraat sits in a neighbourhood that has seen better days, according to some long-term residents. With 94 m² of living space and a 113 m² plot, it's a solid family home built in 1983. The asking price of €350,000 is right in line with the median for terraced houses in Alkmaar.
De Mare is a mixed area with 2,430 residents, many of them single-person households. The three reviews paint a divided picture: one resident calls it a "Pleasant neighbourhood to live in" with schools within walking distance and plenty of green spaces, while another who has lived here 43 years says it "used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood" but now feels neglected. A third simply says it has "scandalously deteriorated" over 40 years. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (2,337 per km²), making it strongly urban.
For your daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner, with Lidl and Dekamarkt also a couple of streets away. Schools are close by: the Stedelijk Dalton College Alkmaar is a five-minute walk, and primary school DURF is also within easy reach. The municipality Alkmaar offers further amenities like a park or public garden 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.

Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant 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.

About Schoklandstraat 5, Alkmaar
The asking price of €350,000 matches the median sale price in De Mare exactly. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,294, and this home works out to about €3,723 per m², which is below that average. Given that similar homes in the area have sold for an average of €367,625, the price seems in line with the market.
This home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but not the highest standards. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label A and another 37.5% have label B, so label C is slightly less efficient than average. You can expect moderate energy costs.
De Mare has 310 households with children, making up about 22% of all households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including DURF and RKBS 't Baeken. However, some long-term residents report a decline in community spirit, so it's worth visiting to see if it suits your family.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Currently, there are 7 homes for sale in De Mare, with an average price of €351,143. This home is priced at €350,000, so it's very close to the average. The market has seen 16 sales recently, with an average selling time of 37 days.
The neighbourhood recorded 318 total crimes in the latest data. That's a relatively high number for a neighbourhood of this size, but it's worth noting that perceptions vary: one resident mentions occasional loitering youths but hasn't been bothered, while others feel the area has deteriorated.
