Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on Rozengracht in Zaandam is part of a recently completed development, so everything is fresh and energy-efficient. At 50 m², it's a compact home, but with an A+++ label you can expect very low energy costs. The rent of €1,590 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €1,567, which is understandable for a new-build property. For context, the average rent per m² in the area is €24.49, so this home is priced in line with the market. See other apartments in Zaanstad for comparison.
The Russische buurt is a densely built urban neighbourhood with over 3,400 addresses per km², making it very lively. It's a mix of ages, with many young adults and a significant number of one-person households. Two residents have shared their experiences: one 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 notes, "It'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." These are candid views, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.

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.
