What does Oosteinde offer?
Berkhout is a small village where you'll find mostly detached homes and farmhouses, often with some land attached. Your neighbours are people who choose to be here, not passing through on their way to Amsterdam. It's ten minutes from Alkmaar and the motorway, so you can leave quickly when you need to, but it doesn't feel like a commuter belt. The polder around you is genuinely good for cycling and walking, and you feel that in the village's character.
