Westerwatering Noord, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Betje Wolffstraat sits in a quiet, leafy part of Zaandam. With 100 m² of living space and a 170 m² plot, it offers a comfortable layout. The energy label A means low heating costs. At €450,000, the price is in line with the market for end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad.
The neighbourhood Westerwatering Noord is described by one resident as 'enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted'. They note the beautiful green surroundings but also mention that the neighbourhood feels isolated at times, with only two roads connecting it to the rest of the city. Amenities are sparse, no café or ice cream parlour nearby. The area has many families and a mix of ages, with mostly owner-occupied homes.
For groceries, Vomar and Dekamarkt are just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Three primary schools are within a couple of streets away: Chr Basisschool Het Baken, Openbare basisschool Het Eiland, and RK Basisschool de Rietvink. The municipality Zaanstad provides further amenities like a GP and restaurants within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via HVMS and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

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.
