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 Czarinastraat 39A, Zaandam
The asking price of €420,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €383,282 and the median of €342,250. However, this apartment is larger than average (100 m² vs 83 m²). The average price per m² in the area is €4,981, so the price per m² here is €4,200, which is actually below that average. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood went for an average of €421,150, so the price is in line with recent sales.
Energy label D is average for a pre-war home. It means the home is not as efficient as modern builds, so heating costs will be higher than with label A or B. In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes for sale have label A+ or better, so this home is less efficient than most of the current market.
Residents have mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions it's not really safe in the evenings. The neighbourhood recorded 764 total crimes, but without context it's hard to compare. The area is very urban (address density 3,467 per km²), which can sometimes mean more activity, both positive and negative.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: 755 single-person households, 355 households with children, and 420 without children. The average household size is 1.8. One resident noted that in their complex, only foreign people live, so they have little contact with neighbours. This suggests the area is diverse but not necessarily tight-knit.
The train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting by train convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: OBS Herman Gorter (739 m), ICBS het Zaanplein (755 m), Openbare Basisschool Et Buut (873 m), Daltonschool De Westerkim (917 m), and Openbare Basisschool De Dijk (945 m). All are within about a ten-minute walk.
Yes, Vomar is just 234 m away, around the corner. Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are 367 m away, also a short walk. There are also two AH to go locations within 500-600 m.
