A compact flat in Zaandam's Oud West

This two-bedroom apartment on Zeemansstraat is a cosy home in a lively part of Zaandam. The listing does not state a year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €345,000, the asking price is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €443,719, which is keen given the smaller floor area, though the flat is 37% smaller than the typical home in the area. For context, flats in Zaanstad vary widely in price and size.

The Oud West neighbourhood

Oud West is a dense, urban area with over 5,000 residents and a very high address density (3,640 per km²). It's a mix of singles and families, with many one-person households. The housing stock is mostly pre-war (81% built before 1945), and about half are owner-occupied. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is based purely on statistics. The area has a lively, city feel, the Oud West neighbourhood is well-connected and popular with young professionals.

Life on the street

Your daily errands are a breeze: a Vomar supermarket is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are a couple of streets away. For fresh bread or a quick lunch, the bakery and restaurants are within a five-minute walk. Families have several primary schools nearby, including Openbare Basisschool Et Buut (a five-minute walk) and Daltonschool De Westerkim (also a short stroll). The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commuting easy. All this is part of the municipality of Zaanstad, which offers a good range of amenities.
