What you will love about this neighborhood

The house is situated in front of the city park and located in the center of the cozy city of Alkmaar.
The Emmakwartier is a cosy neighborhood in the city Alkmaar, filled with old charasteristic houses of around 1900. It's located in a tree-lined street, it’s just a short walk to the city center, the train station, and local amenities. Lots of green (the house is situated in front of the citypark De Hout) and the picturesque windmill and city canals are at the end of the street! The supermarket is a 5-minute bike ride (10-minute walk) and a bakery is in front of the house.

Explore Alkmaar’s famous Cheese Market, held every Friday from April to September, where centuries-old traditions come to life. Stroll through the charming city center filled with boutique shops, cozy cafés, and vibrant restaurants serving both local and international cuisine. Alkmaar is also a gateway to the stunning Dutch countryside. Cycle through endless tulip fields in spring or take a short trip to historical towns like Hoorn, Enkhuizen, or Edam. For art and history enthusiasts, Alkmaar offers fascinating museums such as the Stedelijk Museum and the Beatles Museum, along with its well-preserved medieval architecture. Beaches are nearby, like the popular beaches at Egmond aan Zee or Bergen aan Zee (15 minutes by car). The buzzling citylife of Amsterdam is just 35 minutes by train (or 25/30 minutes by car).
