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 49 m² apartment is available for €1,395 a month, which is 11% below the neighbourhood average for rentals, a keen price given the size. For context, the average rental in the area is €1,567, and the typical flat is 65 m². You can compare with other apartments in Zaanstad.
The Russische buurt is a densely built neighbourhood in Zaandam, with 2,730 residents and a very high urban density (3,467 addresses per km²). It's a mix of ages, with many 25-45 year olds and a fair number of families. Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident describes the area as "dilapidated" and 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 calls it "foreign" and 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 has a high crime rate (764 incidents), which may be a consideration.
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: Openbare Basisschool De Dijk and OBS Herman Gorter. The municipality Zaanstad provides further amenities like a train station and a park.
At the time of writing the home is listed via vb&t Nieuwbouwmakelaars and vb&t Makelaars. 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.
