Prins Hendrikbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis corner house in Zaandam's Prins Hendrikbuurt is compact but full of character.

For context, end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad typically command higher prices, so this one is keenly priced.
One resident describes the neighbourhood as a "Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan", a DIY neighbourhood by the river Zaan. They say: "Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together... almost everyone has a fast life here." They appreciate the nearby amenities, restaurants, cafés, a supermarket, and the river Zaan for walks. The neighbourhood Prins Hendrikbuurt is densely urban (3,864 addresses per km²) and home to many singles and smaller households. Green space is limited, but the resident notes the area feels reasonably safe.
Daily errands are easy: Dekamarkt is just around the corner for groceries, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. For a bigger shop, AH XL is a ten-minute walk. OBS Herman Gorter primary school is on your doorstep, and VMBO Pascal Zuid secondary school is a ten-minute walk.

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.
