About De Weer 23C, Zaandam
For a 50 m² apartment in Vennenbuurt, €260,000 is in line with the market. The price per square metre is typical for Zaanstad, and the energy label C means running costs should be moderate. Without recent sales data for the exact street, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced compared to similar listings.
Vennenbuurt is a mixed residential area with a population of about 1,625. It has a good number of families (around 240 households with children) and a significant share of older residents. The area scores very high on urban density, so you'll find shops, schools and a park within walking distance. Crime figures are moderate, with 70 reported incidents in the area.
The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, which is about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. That's a bit further than some other parts of Zaandam, but the bus connections are decent.
There are several schools within walking distance. RK basisschool Paus Joannes is just 52 metres away, and Christelijke Basisschool Tamarinde is 249 metres. For secondary education, VMBO Pascal Zuid and Praktijkschool de Faam are both about 146 metres from the apartment.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home built in 1998. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. The double glazing and insulation are likely adequate, but you might want to check the exact details with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden or any private outdoor space. Given that it's an apartment, it's unlikely to have a garden, but there is a park just 200 metres away for fresh air.
