Rosmolenbuurt West, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Belgischestraat sits in a quiet part of Zaandam, with a surprisingly spacious 230 m² of living space spread over several floors. The 154 m² plot gives you a bit of outdoor room, and the 1973 build means solid construction with an energy label C, not the cheapest to heat, but far from the worst. At €739,500, the price is in line with what other end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad go for.
Two residents have rated the neighbourhood 8.32 out of 10. One calls it a "Cosy neighbourhood" and says: "Fairly quiet street. Sometimes nuisance from loitering youths in the evening. Nice social neighbourhood team with lots of activities. Neighbours greet and help each other." Another describes it as an "Old working-class neighbourhood" with "Living in a quiet neighbourhood with quite a lot of greenery." The area is densely built, over 3700 addresses per km², so it feels very urban, but the greenery and community spirit soften that. The neighbourhood Rosmolenbuurt West has a mix of ages, with many singles and couples, and a fair number of families.
For your daily bread, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Dirk is a couple of streets away, both within a five-minute walk. SPAR express and Vomar are a ten-minute walk. For school runs, ICBS het Zaanplein is just around the corner, and Openbare basisschool Hannie Schaft is a five-minute walk. The municipality Zaanstad keeps the area well served with a GP practice and a park both on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed via HVMS and also appears on Funda, so you have a couple of channels to check.

About Belgischestraat 12, Zaandam
With 230 m² of living space and a 154 m² plot, the price works out to about €3,215 per m². That's typical for a corner house in Zaanstad, so it's not a bargain but also not overpriced. The energy label C means moderate running costs, and the 1973 build is solid but may need some updates.
Rosmolenbuurt West scores 8.32 out of 10 from two reviews. Residents describe it as a quiet street with greenery and a strong community feel, neighbours greet and help each other. There's a social neighbourhood team that organises activities. Some mention occasional nuisance from loitering youths in the evening, but overall it's peaceful.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That's a reasonable distance for commuting to Amsterdam or elsewhere.
