Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The 54 m² flat is listed at €1,400 per month, which is 11% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567, a keen price for the area. For context, the supply of apartments in Zaanstad varies widely.
Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood gets mixed reactions. 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 neighbourhood Russische buurt is densely populated, with many single-person households and a young adult skew.
For daily shopping, 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 municipality Zaanstad provides further amenities like a train station a ten-minute walk away.
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 or energy label.

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 142, Zaandam
At 54 m² and €1,400 per month, the price is 11% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567. That makes it keen compared to other rentals in the Russische buurt, where the median is €1,480. However, without the energy label, you cannot estimate heating costs, so the total monthly outlay may be higher than expected.
The Russische buurt is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. Residents have mixed feelings: one describes it as deteriorating and poorly maintained, while another mentions safety concerns in the evenings.
