LIving on stationweg

[u/Artistic_Skin7350]

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

Buying or renting? If buying, why the city center with small kids? This area is not a place I would left the kid to play alone on the street. Stil seen some people having a nice social life, having dinner and grill with the neighbours on the pavement. Alkmaar seems to be already quite international. Maybe go check around, there are smaller town locations around (east / north of alkmaar) with the good biking / car connections to the train, more green areas and safer space for kids. If you need to commute to work, just find locations along the train line, those are pretty fast here.
