NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on Rozengracht in Zaandam is part of a 2025 development, so everything is fresh and energy-efficient with an A+++ label.

The Russische buurt is a densely built urban area with a very high address density. It's a young neighbourhood: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. 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 adds: "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 just two voices, but they give a sense of the local sentiment. For more on the area, visit the neighbourhood Russische buurt.
For daily groceries, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool Et Buut and ICBS het Zaanplein. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with restaurants is on your doorstep. For more about the wider area, see the municipality Zaanstad.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van der Linden and Van der Linden Vastgoedmanagement B.V.

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.
