Russische buurt, Zaanstad
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 87 m² apartment is priced at €1,780 per month, which is above the neighbourhood average for rentals, partly because the floor area is 34% larger than the typical 65 m² in the area. For context, you can compare with other apartments in Zaanstad.
The Russische buurt is a densely built area with a mix of flats and some family homes. It's a very urban setting, 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 area has a high proportion of single-person households and a relatively young population.

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.

The asking rent of €1,780 is above the neighbourhood average of €1,567 and the median of €1,480. However, the apartment is larger than typical rentals in the area (87 m² vs 65 m² average), which partly explains the higher price.
