Kalf, Zaanstad

The neighbourhood Kalf feels like a small community. Two residents describe it as 'cosy', one says 'everyone is there for each other, a big family', while another notes it can feel a bit unsafe around Trefplein in the evening. It is a mixed area with many families and older residents, and most homes are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood Kalf has a quiet, suburban character.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Lidl and Aldi are a couple of streets away. Children can walk to Interconfessionele Basisschool De Vuurvogel or Openbare Basisschool Kogerveld within a ten-minute walk, and the St. Michaël College is also within walking distance. The municipality Zaanstad keeps the area well-maintained.

It varies. It's usually a nice neighbourhood with nice people. You say hello to each other when you walk or cycle past. But it can sometimes be a bit unsafe in some places. Around the Trefplein is the hangout spot for the young people in the neighbourhood. You don't want to cycle past there alone in the evening. They also leave rubbish behind, which is a real shame. There is also a community centre that, in my opinion, could do with a bit more attention. This could be done, for example, through posters, flyers or something similar.
