Buying a home in Edam-Zuid, Edam.
Edam-Zuid puts you south of the main town centre, in quieter streets lined with older family homes and newer builds mixed together. You're close enough to Edam's famous cheese market and canal-side restaurants to walk there in minutes, but far enough away to avoid the summer tourist crowds. Most neighbours here are families or couples who've settled in for the long haul. The Zuidoosterkerk neighbourhood is particularly peaceful, and you've got cycling straight to Volendam or Amsterdam when you need it.
