What to consider when buying in 't Kruis
Pros:
- Direct NS-rail access from Heerhugowaard station; Amsterdam Centraal in 25 minutes, Alkmaar in 10 minutes.
- Flat terrain throughout; easy cycling to Alkmaar's centre and surrounding polder villages.
- New-build and renovated family homes with modern insulation; relatively affordable compared to Amsterdam ring towns.
- Supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo) and local shops on Gasthuisplein within walking distance.
Cons:
