Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Hogendijk 134E is a 2020 build with an A energy label, so you can move in knowing the heating bills will be modest.

The neighbourhood has a mixed reputation. One resident describes it as 'dilapidated', noting that the area is deteriorating and the municipality does little to maintain public spaces. Another says it's 'not really safe in the evenings' and that the market leaves mess behind. Based on two reviews, the general feeling is that the area has seen better days. The CBS figures show a dense urban area with many single-person households and a young population, typical of a city centre. For more context, see 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.
