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. This rental apartment on Houthavenkade is priced at €1,395 per month, which is 11% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567, a keen price for the area. For context, the average rent for apartments in Zaanstad is higher.
The neighbourhood Russische buurt is a densely urban area with over 3,400 addresses per square kilometre. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. 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 neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (755) and a relatively young population, with many aged 25 to 45.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's also an Ekoplaza and a Vomar within a couple of streets away. For bread or a quick bite, an AH to go is on your doorstep. Primary schools are a ten-minute walk away: Openbare Basisschool De Dijk and OBS Herman Gorter are both within walking distance. The municipality Zaanstad provides local services, and the train station is a ten-minute walk, making commuting straightforward.
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.
