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 65 m² and rents for €1,600 per month, which is slightly above 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 calls it "Foreign" and notes: "It's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings." The area is densely built, with mostly flats and a high proportion of single-person households. The neighbourhood Russische buurt is very urban, with over 3,400 addresses per km².
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is 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 about ten minutes). The municipality Zaanstad covers a wide area with plenty of amenities.

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.
