Hoge Horn 8
Russische buurt, Zaanstad
AreaA modern apartment in the Russische buurt
This apartment on Hoge Horn 8 sits in the Russische buurt, a lively part of Zaandam where the streets have a distinctly urban rhythm. The home was built in 1999, so it is a relatively recent addition to the neighbourhood. The asking price of €500,000 is on the high side, which is a precomputed comparison against the average asking price in the neighbourhood. This listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the agent's publication. For context, you can compare it with other [apartments in Zaanstad].
The home itself
The apartment offers 90 square metres of living space according to the BAG registration, which is the basis for the price per square metre of €5,556. The agent has not published details about the layout, so the number of rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms is not stated. There is also no information about a garden, balcony or garage. The year of construction, 1999, is a fact about the building's age, but the listing gives no further details about the interior or installations.

Across the municipality of Zaanstad, residents give an average score of 7.51 based on 53 reviews.
