Westerwatering Noord, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Abbenbroekstraat sits in a quiet, green pocket of Westerwatering Noord. With 136 m² of living space and a 227 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The price of €590,000 is in line with what you'd expect for a end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad of this size.
One resident describes the neighbourhood as 'enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted'. They note the beauty and greenery, but also the isolation: 'The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads. When the bridge "De Binding" is closed, only one route remains to civilisation, which regularly leads to traffic jams.' Amenities are sparse, no café or ice cream parlour nearby. The neighbourhood Westerwatering Noord is home to many families and couples, with a mix of ages.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Dekamarkt and Vomar a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Openbare basisschool Het Eiland and RK Basisschool de Rietvink, are within a five-minute walk, and Compaen vmbo for secondary education is also close by. The municipality Zaanstad provides parks and green spaces nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including De Ruyter Makelaardij.

It's a beautiful and green neighbourhood, with nature that truly enchants you. Yet sometimes it can feel too quiet and isolated. The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads. When the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, only one route remains to civilisation — which regularly leads to traffic jams. Additionally, there is unfortunately a lack of good amenities. There isn't a single café or ice cream parlour in the area; for a simple cup of coffee or a treat, you have to travel miles. The infrastructure could certainly be improved to make life here more pleasant and better connected.
