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 34% larger than the neighbourhood average, and at €1,780 it is priced above the local median of €1,480, on the high side compared to other rentals in the area. For context, the supply of apartments in Zaanstad varies widely.
Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood Russische buurt gets mixed feedback. 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 (over 3,400 addresses per km²) and has a young population, with many one-person households.
For daily groceries, 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 municipality Zaanstad provides local services, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
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.
