Prins Hendrikbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis 95 m² apartment on Zuiddijk sits in a lively part of Zaandam, where the river Zaan and the city centre are just a short walk away. The home dates from 1932 and has energy label C, so you can expect solid pre-war construction with reasonable insulation. At €350,000, the asking price is 15% below the neighbourhood average of €410,636, making it a keen entry into the local market for apartments in Zaanstad.
The neighbourhood Prins Hendrikbuurt scores a 7.25 from one resident, who describes it as a "Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan", a working-class DIY neighbourhood. They say: "Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together… almost everyone has a fast life here." The resident notes that primary schools are nearby but very full, and that green space is lacking, though the Zaan riverbank offers a pleasant walk. The area feels reasonably safe, with neighbours likely to help if needed. Most homes were built before 1945, and the population is a mix of singles and families, with average household incomes around the national norm.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, and Vomar is just around the corner. Two primary schools, OBS Herman Gorter and ICBS het Zaanplein, are a couple of streets away, so the school run is a short walk. The city centre of Zaandam is a ten-minute walk, with restaurants, cafés and a bike repair shop along the way. The municipality Zaanstad also has secondary education within easy cycling distance.

Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together (including myself), almost everyone has a fast life here, it would be nice if people were sometimes less rushed and took it easy doing something for someone else, this could be something very small like greeting someone kindly or letting someone go ahead. The neighbourhood could also be a bit tidier in some places, there is rubbish lying in the streets, also from all the DIY that goes on a lot. Furthermore, there are primary schools in the area but they are very full. Also secondary education which is not far by bike. There are restaurants, cafés, lunch spots, a supermarket, bike repair shop, hairdresser, much more and the city of course, which is very close. Also there is regularly a nice party at the Burcht and the river Zaan is nice to walk along. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, if something unpleasant were to happen that is seen by residents, I am quite sure they would come to help if needed. Green space is unfortunately somewhat lacking, in principle logical because it's the Randstad but I think it could easily be a lot greener, especially the gardens.
