Types and sizes

The mix is 216 houses, 84 apartments and one villa. Two-bedroom homes lead with 79, then 78 four-bedroom, 68 three-bedroom, 45 one-bedroom and 25 with five or more. A median of 96 m² is typical for terraced Dutch housing.

If you buy a flat, ask for the VvE (owners' association) budget and maintenance plan. Check the energy label because it affects mortgage terms and running costs.

Alkmaar has older canal houses in the centre, post-war terraces and newer neighbourhoods such as Overdie and Oudorp-type suburbs. The oldest houses may have wooden foundations or small rooms, so a surveyor's report (bouwkundige keuring) is worthwhile.

Living in Alkmaar

Alkmaar is known for its Friday cheese market in summer, its canals and the dunes and beach at nearby Bergen aan Zee. Amsterdam is about 35 minutes by train, which makes the city popular with commuters who want a cheaper, calmer base.

Other places to compare are Bergen, Heiloo, Heerhugowaard, Castricum, Heemskerk and the village of ’t Veld further north.

Dutch buying rules

There are no restrictions on foreign buyers. Transfer tax is 2% for owner-occupiers and 8% for other homes. A notary completes the deed, and bidding often exceeds asking price. Non-resident mortgages are available but depend on Dutch income.
