Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoge Horn sits in a lively part of Zaandam, with the Zaan river and the Houthaven quay just a couple of streets away. At 122 m² it is a good deal larger than the average home in the neighbourhood, and with energy label A it is efficient to run. The asking price of €575,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €383,282, but the extra space and modern finish explain the premium. For context, this is one of the larger apartments in Zaanstad currently on the market.
The Russische buurt is a dense, urban area with a mix of pre-war and modern housing.

The area has a high turnover of residents, with many single-person households and a relatively young population. Despite the criticisms, the location is central, with shops and transport links close by. For a broader view, you can read more about the Russische buurt neighbourhood.

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.
