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 87 m² apartment in Zaandam's Russische buurt is available for €1,895 per month, 21% above the neighbourhood average, but the space is 34% larger than typical rentals here. For context, apartments in Zaanstad vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Russische buurt is a densely urban area with 2,730 residents and a very high address density. Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident 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 young population, with most residents between 25 and 45.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are just around the corner, and Vomar is 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 municipality Zaanstad provides local services, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away. A park is also within walking distance for a bit of green.
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 about the property itself are missing.

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 124, Zaandam
The rent is 21% above the neighbourhood average of €1,567, but the apartment is also 34% larger than the typical 65 m² rental in Russische buurt. Given the size and energy label A+++, the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space and efficiency.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs compared to older properties.
Residents have mixed feelings. One review mentions it's not really safe in the evenings, while another notes the neighbourhood is deteriorating. The area recorded 764 total crimes, but without a breakdown it's hard to compare. It's best to visit at different times to get a feel.
Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are about 500 metres away, and Vomar is roughly 600 metres. There are also two AH to go locations within walking distance. For a full grocery run, the main supermarkets are just a few minutes' walk.
The train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities quite convenient.
vb&t Makelaars has published only the street and price on Funda and their own site.
