Provincialeweg 190V
Spoorbuurt, Zaanstad
AreaA new-build apartment in Zaandam
This brand-new apartment on Provincialeweg in Zaandam is part of a 2026 development, so everything is fresh and unused. With an A++ energy label, it is about as efficient as homes get, which keeps running costs pleasantly low. The 71 m² floor area is compact, and at €2,250 per month it sits well above the average for apartments in Zaanstad, where the typical rent is much lower. That puts the price on the high side for the area, though the new build and energy performance explain some of it.
The Spoorbuurt neighbourhood
The Spoorbuurt neighbourhood is an older part of Zaandam, and the one resident review we have sums it up as "old but gold": cosy, quiet, and a touch short on nature. The reviewer gives it 9.5 out of 10, which is a strong endorsement. The area is home to around 900 people, with a mix of ages and a fair number of single-person households. It feels settled and calm, the kind of place where neighbours know each other. The only mild criticism is the lack of green space, so if you like parks and trees, you would be heading out of the neighbourhood for those.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Dirk and an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away, so the weekly shop is a short walk. For schools, Daltonschool De Westerkim is on your doorstep and Openbare Basisschool Et Buut is just around the corner, while secondary options like Compaen vmbo and Zaanlands Lyceum are a ten-minute walk. The train station is also within a ten-minute walk, which makes commuting straightforward. The municipality of Zaanstad covers the wider area, with Zaandam's centre not far off.

Frequently asked questions
About Provincialeweg 190V, Zaandam
Is €2,250 a fair price for this apartment?
The rent is €2,250 per month for a 71 m² apartment, which is considerably higher than the neighbourhood average of €873 for rental homes. That average, however, covers a wide range of properties, and this is a brand-new build with an A++ energy label. Compared with the local market, the price is on the high side, but the new construction and efficiency are part of what you are paying for.
What does the A++ energy label mean for my bills?
An A++ label is the most efficient category available, so the home is very economical to run. Heating and hot water will cost relatively little compared with older properties. The label is an official registration, and with a new build from 2026, the systems are modern and efficient. Expect low monthly energy costs, though the exact amount depends on your usage.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
The Albert Heijn is just 372 metres away, so the daily shop is a short stroll. An AH to go and a Dirk are both within about 500 metres, and there is another Albert Heijn and an Ekoplaza at roughly 550 metres. With 36 supermarkets within five kilometres, you have plenty of choice for groceries, from the quick top-up to the big weekly shop.
What schools are nearby?
Two primary schools are very close: Daltonschool De Westerkim at 78 metres and Openbare Basisschool Et Buut at 108 metres. For secondary education, Compaen vmbo and Zaanlands Lyceum are both around 750 metres away, and there is also a special education school at 701 metres. With 48 schools within five kilometres, the area is well served for families.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 700 metres from the apartment, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it practical for commuting to Amsterdam or elsewhere in the region. For daily travel, this is a convenient position.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
The Spoorbuurt is described by a resident as "old but gold": cosy and quiet, though with limited nature. The single review scores it 9.5 out of 10. The area has around 900 residents, with a mix of ages and many single-person households. It is a calm, established neighbourhood, and the main drawback mentioned is the lack of green space nearby.
