A cosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery. Unfortunately, many homes have mould and there are many loitering youths in the area. This affects safety.

About Linnaeusstraat 212, Zaandam
At €290,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the six homes currently for sale in Poelenburg Zuid. It sits 18% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €355,000. However, the floor area of 67 m² is 27% smaller than the local average of 92 m², so the price per square metre is in line with the market. Given the energy label C and the 1963 build, it's a reasonable entry-level price for the area.
Poelenburg Zuid is a green, multicultural neighbourhood with a mix of families and older residents. One resident says it's 'cosy but with many loitering youths,' while another who has lived here for 40 years calls it 'wonderfully multicultural' and wouldn't want to leave. The area has a strong sense of community, though some homes have issues with mould. It's a lively, diverse place with plenty of greenery.
The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 40-minute walk.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Islamitische Basisschool De Horizon (448 m) and Christelijke Basisschool Tamarinde (627 m). For secondary education, VMBO Pascal Zuid and Praktijkschool de Faam are both about 800 m away.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label C and 50% have D or lower.
