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 59 m² apartment is available for €1,475 per month, which is slightly below the median rent of €1,480 in the area. For more context, see other apartments in Zaanstad.
Based on two reviews, residents paint a mixed picture. 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 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 a high address density of 3,467 per km², and many residents live alone.

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 (a ten-minute walk) and OBS Herman Gorter (a ten-minute walk). The municipality Zaanstad manages the area.
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.
