Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on Rozengracht brings modern living to the heart of Zaandam. With an A+++ energy label, it's as efficient as it gets.

Another resident says it's 'not really safe in the evenings' and that after the market, it often takes a day to clean up. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 5.69 out of 10. The area is densely built with many single-person households, and the urban feel is strong. For more context, see the Russische buurt neighbourhood.

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.
