What does Elkshove offer?
Bergen is a village where you actually have neighbours, not just houses. The homes here are mostly 1930s and 1950s builds, often roomier than you'd find in the city, with gardens that are genuinely usable. You're twenty minutes from Alkmaar and half an hour from Amsterdam, so you're not cut off, but you'll feel the difference from the bustle. The coast is close enough for a Sunday bike ride to Egmond.
