Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Houthavenkade in Zaandam is part of a recent development, with an excellent A+++ energy label. The listing does not state a year of construction, so the exact age is not known. At €1,475 per month, the rent is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €1,480, making it a keenly priced option compared to other apartments in Zaanstad.
The Russische buurt is a densely urban area with over 3,400 addresses per square kilometre. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings: one says the neighbourhood is "dilapidated" and that the municipality does little to maintain public spaces, while another finds it "not really safe in the evenings" and notes little contact with neighbours. The area has a young population, with many 25-to-45-year-olds and a high proportion of single-person households. For more context, see the neighbourhood Russische buurt.
For your daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Vomar are 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 Houthavenkade itself is a quay, so you have water views and a lively setting. The municipality Zaanstad manages the wider area.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via vb&t Nieuwbouwmakelaars and also appears on other channels.

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 176, Zaandam
The rent of €1,475 is slightly below the median of €1,480 for rentals in the Russische buurt, and well within the range of €1,054 to €2,900. Given the 58 m² floor area and A+++ energy label, the price per square metre (€25.43) is close to the neighbourhood average of €24.49, so it is in line with the market.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs expected. It is typical for a new-build apartment.
One resident review mentions it is "not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings." The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 764, but without a per-capita comparison, it is hard to judge. The neighbourhood has a very high urban density, which can sometimes correlate with higher crime rates.
Zaandam train station is a ten-minute walk away (0.9 km), providing connections to Amsterdam and beyond.
