Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a year of construction. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The apartment is 84 m² with an A+++ energy label, so it's very efficient. At €1,845 per month, the rent is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €1,567, which is on the high side, but you get a larger home than typical for the area. For context, see other apartments in Zaanstad.
The Russische buurt is a densely built urban neighbourhood with over 3,400 addresses per km². Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One says: "This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing." Another notes: "It'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." The area has many single-person households and a relatively young population. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Russische buurt.
For daily groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool De Dijk and OBS Herman Gorter. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre of Zaandam is easily reachable. For more on the wider area, see the municipality Zaanstad.
At the time of writing the home is listed via vb&t Makelaars and also appears on Funda. The agent has not published the year of construction, so some details are missing from this listing.

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 Houthavenkade 108, Zaandam
The rent is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €1,567, but the apartment is also 29% larger than the typical rental in the Russische buurt (84 m² vs 65 m²). With an A+++ energy label, running costs will be low. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and efficiency.
The Russische buurt is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. Based on two resident reviews, opinions are divided: one mentions deterioration and lack of municipal upkeep, while another feels unsafe in the evenings and notes slow market clean-up. The population is young, with many single-person households.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities straightforward.
An AH to go is just around the corner (321 m), and both Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are about 500 m away. Vomar is a bit further at 554 m. So daily shopping is very convenient.
vb&t Makelaars has published only the street and price on Funda and Huispedia. As a result, some details about the home itself are missing.
The energy label is A+++, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating and electricity costs.
