Oud Koog, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Boschjesstraat 67 sits in the heart of Oud Koog, a part of Koog aan de Zaan that feels both settled and lively. At 79 m² it's a comfortable size, and the 1928 build gives it high ceilings and original details you don't find in newer homes. The energy label F means heating costs will be noticeable, but the asking price of €350,000 is in line with what other apartments in Zaanstad go for.
Oud Koog is a compact residential area with a mix of pre-war and post-war housing, mostly family homes. The one resident review sums it up: "Little noise pollution, clean and has plenty of access to public transport. Small but nice." It's a neighbourhood where people know each other, and the streets are tidy. The neighbourhood Oud Koog has a strong community feel, with a good number of families and older residents living side by side.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and SPAR is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Dynamica Speciaal Basisonderwijs and Basisschool de Piramide. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get to Amsterdam or Zaandam. The municipality Zaanstad keeps the area well-maintained, with a park and several restaurants nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Saen Garantiemakelaars Koog aan de Zaan and also appears on Funda, so you have a couple of channels to follow it.

About Boschjesstraat 67, Koog Aan De Zaan
At 79 m² and with an F energy label, the price of €350,000 is in line with what other apartments in Zaanstad are asking. The pre-war character and location in Oud Koog add value, but the poor energy rating means you'll have higher monthly heating costs. It's a fair price for what's on offer.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. You can expect higher gas bills and the home may feel draughty in winter. Improvements like double glazing or better insulation could bring the label up, but that's an investment to consider.
The nearest train station is 0.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach Amsterdam in around 20 minutes.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Dynamica Speciaal Basisonderwijs (193 m) and Basisschool de Piramide (246 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.6 km away, about a 20-minute walk or short cycle.
Oud Koog has a total of 251 recorded crimes, which is moderate for a neighbourhood of this size. The resident review mentions "little noise pollution" and a clean environment, so it feels safe and well-maintained.
