Quiet and clean with a decent shopping centre in the neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AINo problem, I've lived here for 45 years, so I'm certainly happy. When someone passes away, we fly the flag at half-mast and honour them. Our flats have been renovated, completely maintenance-free, everyone is happy. Bus at the door, supermarket etc. 5 minutes walk, all that. Older, so it's nice to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AICan live here nicely, everything renovated, although there is often gossiping and peeping. I close my door and mind my own business, that's best. I certainly wouldn't want to be carried out of here and hopefully I can someday return to my hometown Hoorn, but for now it's okay.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave been living here for over a year and a half with great pleasure. Neighbourly help and cosy. More trees, for shade when it's hot.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood (apartment block), nice people, everyone greets each other. Fun gatherings. Always a chat.

About Scholeksterhof 32, Purmerend
For a 124 m² terraced house from 1972 with a 161 m² plot and energy label B in Overwhere-Noord, €450,000 is in line with the market. The price reflects the size, the quiet neighbourhood, and the fact that it's a classic family home. Without comparable sales data for the immediate area, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for what you get.
Overwhere-Noord scores an 8.27 out of 10 from residents. They describe it as green, safe, and quiet, with a decent shopping centre. Many residents are older, and there's a strong community feel, one resident mentioned flags at half-mast when someone passes away. It's a calm area with a mix of ages, though families with children are fewer than in some other parts of Purmerend.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's not on your doorstep, but it's manageable if you commute regularly. The bus stop is closer, with services to Purmerend centre and beyond.
Oecumenische Basisschool KlimOp is just 420 m away, so primary school is a short walk. For secondary education, SG Antoni Gaudí is about 1 km away, and Scholengemeenschap Gerrit Rietveld is a similar distance. There are also several other primary and secondary schools within a couple of kilometres, so you have options.
The house has energy label B, which is good for a 1972 home. That means it's reasonably efficient, so your heating bills should be manageable. It's not the top label, but it's far better than many older homes. You won't face the high costs associated with label G or F.
The plot is 161 m², which includes the house footprint. The garden is not separately stated, but with a plot that size, you can expect a decent outdoor space. It's a terraced house, so the garden is likely at the back, probably a good size for a family.
