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 58 m² with an A+++ energy label, so it's very efficient. At €1,475 per month, the price is in line with the average for apartments in Zaanstad.
Two residents have reviewed the neighbourhood. 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 says: "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 mix of ages.
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 walking distance, including Openbare Basisschool De Dijk and OBS Herman Gorter. The municipality Zaanstad offers a range of amenities nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via vb&t Nieuwbouwmakelaars and vb&t Makelaars.

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.
