The Russische buurt

The Russische buurt is a densely built urban area with a mix of old and new housing. Two residents have reviewed the neighbourhood, giving it an average score of 5.69 out of 10. One resident says: "This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing." Another adds: "It'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." The area has a high population density and a young demographic, with many single-person households. For more details, see the neighbourhood Russische buurt.

Life on the street

For daily groceries, you have an Albert Heijn and an Ekoplaza both just around the corner, and a Vomar a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Openbare Basisschool De Dijk (a five-minute walk) and OBS Herman Gorter (a ten-minute walk). The municipality Zaanstad provides local services and amenities.
