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 available for €1,400 a 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 is varied.
Two residents have reviewed the neighbourhood Russische buurt, giving it an average score of 5.7 out of 10. 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 is densely built with many single-person households and a young population.
For daily groceries, you have an AH to go just around the corner, plus an Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. Primary schools include Openbare Basisschool De Dijk, a ten-minute walk away, and OBS Herman Gorter, also within walking distance. The municipality Zaanstad provides further amenities such as a train station a ten-minute walk away and a park nearby.
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.

About Houthavenkade 160, Zaandam
At €1,400 per month for 54 m², the rent is 11% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567. Given that the average price per m² in the area is €24.49, this flat works out at about €25.93 per m², which is slightly above that average. So it's priced for the size, though the missing energy label makes it hard to estimate total housing costs.
