Oud-Overdie, Alkmaar
NeighbourhoodThis 1952 terraced house in Alkmaar's Oud-Overdie neighbourhood sits on a 133 m² plot. With an E energy label, it's one of the less efficient homes in an area where most for-sale properties have better ratings. At €365,000, the price is in line with the local market, the average sold price in the neighbourhood is €392,071, but current supply averages €350,000. For context, terraced houses in Alkmaar give a broader picture of what's available.
Oud-Overdie is a densely built urban area (3,025 addresses per km²) with around 2,825 residents. It's a mix of households: many singles, but also families with children. The three resident reviews paint contrasting pictures. One says: "Bad neighbourhood, it was the only house I could get unfortunately! Lots of scum live here and many foreigners, it looks like the Bijlmer in Amsterdam. A lot of rubbish is dumped on the streets, you don't see much police in the area. A lot of violence on the streets by fatbike youths." Another echoes: "Too many immigrants are moving in, causing a lot of problems. A lot of nuisance from loitering youths and fireworks. It used to be a nice working-class neighbourhood, unfortunately not anymore." But a third, newer resident says: "I've been living here for 3 weeks now. The people I've met so far are all very friendly. I look out onto Oosterpark, very tree-rich. Very pleasant to live." So experiences vary. The neighbourhood Oud-Overdie page has more data.
For groceries, you have a SPAR just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school is Spinaker SO Alkmaar, a special education school on your doorstep, and the Catholic Basisschool Matthias is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, PCC Oosterhout is about a ten-minute walk. The Oosterpark is just a couple of streets away, and the train station is 2.5 km, a short cycle. The municipality Alkmaar page has more on the wider area.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via LEYGGRAAF Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Trompstraat 87, Alkmaar
The asking price of €365,000 is slightly above the average current supply in Oud-Overdie (€350,000), but below the average sold price of €392,071. Given the 85 m² floor area and E energy label, it's priced in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either.
