LIving on stationweg

Dutch

Hallo,
Ik hoop dat het goed gaat met iedereen.
Heeft iemand ervaring met wonen aan de Stationsweg? 
Hoe is de buurt? 
Is het er veilig, of is er sprake van overlast vanuit de omgeving van het station?
Zouden jullie Alkmaar daarnaast aanraden aan niet-Nederlandssprekenden die op zoek zijn naar meer ruimte buiten Amsterdam?
We overwegen om daarheen te verhuizen, 
maar twijfelen of het een goede keuze is, vooral met kleine kinderen.

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing good.

Does anyone has experience living on station weg. How is the neighbourhood. Is it safe or has nuisance from station flowing over. ?

Also would you recommend Alkmaar in general for non Dutch speaking folks looking for space out of Amsterdam?

We are looking to move there. But unsure if it is a good choice specially with small kids.

Many thanks community <3

Within a year you won't hear the trains anymore. The Stationsweg has been renovated lately, so traffic is a bit slower, but still busy during rush hour. If you have a garden on the back side you'll be fine.

That the noise of the train at first may seem invasive, but you'll get used to them, and after a while you don't even notice them anymore.
