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 flat is 54 m² and rents for €1,410 a month, which is 10% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567, a keen price for the size. For more context, see other apartments in Zaanstad.
Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood gets mixed marks. 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 (3,467 addresses per km²) and home to many singles and young adults.

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.
