Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis 125 m² apartment on Hermitage 86 sits in a lively part of Zaandam, with the Zaan river and the city centre just a short walk away. Built in 2010 and carrying an A+ energy label, it offers modern comfort in a central setting. At €580,000, the asking price is 51% above the neighbourhood average of €383,282, which reflects the larger-than-average floor area, 51% bigger than the typical 83 m² in the area. For context, apartments in Zaanstad vary widely in size and price.
The Russische buurt neighbourhood is a dense urban area with a mix of pre-war and modern housing. Around 40% of homes are owner-occupied, and the population is relatively young, with many singles and couples. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings: one describes the area as 'dilapidated' and criticises the municipality for neglect, while another notes safety concerns in the evenings and limited contact with neighbours. The neighbourhood has a high address density of 3,467 per km², typical of a very strong urban setting.
Daily errands are easy: the Albert Heijn is just 29 metres away, literally on your doorstep, and Ekoplaza is equally close. For a wider selection, Vomar is a couple of streets away. Primary schools within walking distance include Openbare Basisschool Et Buut (about a five-minute walk) and Daltonschool De Westerkim (also a five-minute walk). The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality of Zaanstad offers further amenities like restaurants and a library nearby.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including van der Linden Groep and Makelaardij Van der Linden Amsterdam.

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 Hermitage 86, Zaandam
The asking price of €580,000 is 51% above the neighbourhood average of €383,282. However, this apartment is also 51% larger than the average home in the area (125 m² vs 83 m²). Recent sales in the neighbourhood averaged €421,150, with a median of €342,250. Given the size and energy label A+, the price is on the high side but reflects the premium for a modern, spacious apartment.
The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. This means heating and electricity costs are likely to be low compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes have an A+ label, so this apartment is in line with the most efficient segment.
The Albert Heijn is just 29 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Ekoplaza is also at 29 metres, and Vomar is 327 metres away, a couple of streets. For daily groceries, you won't have to walk far.
