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 flat is 54 m² and rents for €1,420 per month, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average for rentals. For context, apartments in Zaanstad vary widely in price.
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 describes it as "not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings" and notes that after the market, it often takes a day to clean up. The neighbourhood Russische buurt is densely built, with many single-person households and a young population.
For daily shopping, you have an AH to go just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza 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 (also a ten-minute walk). The municipality Zaanstad provides further amenities.
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.

The median rent in the Russische buurt is €1,480, so this flat is priced a bit below that. Given the lack of energy label and construction year, it's hard to judge value precisely, but the price seems in line with the local market.
