Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a year of construction. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The apartment is 70 m² with an A+++ energy label, so it's very efficient. At €1,310 per month, the rent is 16% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567, a keen price for a modern flat. For context, apartments in Zaanstad vary widely.
The neighbourhood Russische buurt is densely built with a mix of flats and houses. It's a very urban area, with over 3,400 addresses per km². Based on two reviews, residents have contrasting views. One 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 describes it as "not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings" and notes that after a market, it often takes a day to clean up. The area has many single-person households and a relatively young population.
For groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner, and Albert Heijn, Ekoplaza and Vomar all within a five-minute walk. Schools are a bit further: Openbare Basisschool De Dijk is a ten-minute walk away, and OBS Herman Gorter is about the same distance. The municipality Zaanstad provides local services, and the train station is a ten-minute walk, making commuting straightforward.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Huispedia and MVGM Wonen Nieuwbouw. The agent has not published the year of construction, so that detail is missing from this page.

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.
