Prins Hendrikbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis 1910 end-of-terrace house in Zaandam's Prins Hendrikbuurt has a lived-in, unpolished feel that matches the neighbourhood's character. With 80 m² of living space and a 65 m² plot, it's a compact home with a C energy label. At €320,000, the asking price is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €410,636, making it a keen entry point compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad.
Based on one review, the Prins Hendrikbuurt is described as a 'Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan', a working-class DIY neighbourhood along the river Zaan. The resident says: 'Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together... almost everyone has a fast life here.' They note that primary schools are very full, but there are restaurants, cafés, a supermarket, and the city centre is close. Green space is lacking, though the river Zaan offers a pleasant walk. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe. CBS figures show a mix of households, with many singles and a fair share of families. This is the Prins Hendrikbuurt neighbourhood in a nutshell.
For daily groceries, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, with Vomar a five-minute walk and Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away. Primary schools are close: OBS Herman Gorter is on your doorstep, and ICBS het Zaanplein is a couple of streets away. For secondary education, VMBO Pascal Zuid is a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a high address density, typical of the Randstad, and the train station is a twenty-minute walk. The municipality of Zaanstad offers further amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Tulpar Makelaardij.

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.

About Ganzenwerfstraat 25, Zaandam
The asking price of €320,000 is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €410,636, which suggests it is keenly priced. However, the home is a pre-war end-of-terrace house with an energy label C, and the neighbourhood has a mix of older properties. The median price in the area is €362,500, so this listing sits below that too.
The Prins Hendrikbuurt is described by a resident as a 'Volksklusbuurt', a working-class DIY area with a fast pace of life. It has a mix of people, but green space is limited. The river Zaan is nearby for walks, and there are local amenities like restaurants, cafés, and a supermarket. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, though some streets could be tidier.
The train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a twenty-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities in the region quite feasible.
Dekamarkt is just around the corner at 312 m, Vomar is 627 m away (a five-minute walk), and Albert Heijn is 912 m away (a ten-minute walk). There is also an Ekoplaza and an AH XL within a kilometre.
Primary schools include OBS Herman Gorter (201 m), obs De Gouw/locatie Kernschool (716 m), and ICBS het Zaanplein (765 m). For secondary education, VMBO Pascal Zuid is 938 m away. Note that the resident review mentions primary schools are very full.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a pre-war house. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. Heating costs will be moderate compared to older homes with lower labels.
The floor area is 80 m², which typically accommodates two to three bedrooms, but you would need to view the property to confirm the layout.
The plot size is 65 m², which suggests there is outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. It is common for end-of-terrace houses of this era to have a small garden, but you should verify with the agent.
