A new-build apartment on Kerkerak
This apartment on Kerkerak sits in the Russische buurt, a part of Zaandam that is clearly changing. The listing does not state a year of construction, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the building itself. At €1,676 per month for 69 m², the rent is in line with the going rate for apartments in Zaanstad, where the average asking rent is €1,832.
The Russische buurt
The Russische buurt neighbourhood is a mixed area with a high share of single-person households, and the reviews reflect some real frustrations. One resident says: "This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean." Another adds: "It's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings." These are two voices out of a small sample, so they give a flavour rather than a full picture.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are both just around the corner, with a Vomar a short walk further. The nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool De Dijk, is a ten-minute walk away, and there are several other options within a similar distance. The train station is also within walking distance, which makes commuting straightforward. This is a practical, central spot in the municipality of Zaanstad.
