This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing. A small patch of grass that is used as a poop field for dogs. And on the other side of our house, the Houthaven quay is being built. Away sun, away freedom; the flats are so close that we have to sit with the curtains closed.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings. When there has been a market, it often takes another day before it's cleaned up. In my complex, only foreign people live, so I have little contact with the neighbours.

About Ankersmidplein 75, Zaandam
The asking price is 20% above the average asking price in the Russische buurt (€383,282) and also above the median (€342,250). However, this apartment is larger (94 m²) than the neighbourhood average (83 m²) and has an excellent A++ energy label. The price reflects these qualities, so it's on the high side but not unreasonable for what you get.
This apartment has an energy label A++, the highest possible. That means very low energy costs for heating and hot water, and a smaller environmental footprint. In the Russische buurt, 62.5% of homes have label A or better, so this one is among the most efficient.
One resident mentioned it's not really safe in the evenings, and the total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 764. However, safety perceptions vary. The area is very urban (address density 3,467), which can bring both vibrancy and challenges.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool Et Buut (517 m), Daltonschool De Westerkim (546 m), and Openbare Basisschool De Dijk (748 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 2.1 km away.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities straightforward.
Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are both just 78 metres away, on your doorstep. AH to go is 211 metres, and another Albert Heijn is 334 metres. For daily groceries, you're well covered.
The Russische buurt has 355 households with children, and there are several primary schools nearby. However, one resident noted that the neighbourhood is deteriorating and not well maintained by the municipality. It's a mixed picture.
