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 available for €1,800 per month, which is 15% above the neighbourhood average for rentals. That's on the high side, but the space is 34% larger than the typical rental in the area. For context, apartments in Zaanstad vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Russische buurt is a densely urban area with over 3,400 addresses per km². Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One 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 (755) and a relatively young population, with many aged 25-45.
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 walking distance, including Openbare Basisschool De Dijk (a ten-minute walk) and OBS Herman Gorter (a bit further). The municipality Zaanstad manages local amenities, and the Houthaven quay development is ongoing nearby. A train station is a ten-minute walk away, and a park or park is about the same distance.
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.

About Houthavenkade 224, Zaandam
The rent is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €1,567, but the apartment is 34% larger than the typical rental (87 m² vs 65 m²). So you're paying more for extra space. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the square metres.
The Russische buurt is very densely built-up, with a mix of single-person households and families. Reviews are mixed: some residents mention deterioration and safety concerns in the evenings, while others note a lack of municipal upkeep. It's a young area with many people aged 25-45.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting by rail quite convenient from this address.

vb&t Nieuwbouwmakelaars has published only the street and price on Funda.
One resident review says it's not really safe in the evenings. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 764, but without context it's hard to compare. It's worth considering your own comfort level.
