Westerwatering Noord, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on J. Breebaardstraat sits in a peaceful part of Zaandam, where the streets are green and the pace is slow. With 127 m² of living space and a 231 m² plot, there's room to spread out. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient. At €500,000, the price is in line with what other end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad go for.
The neighbourhood Westerwatering Noord is described by one resident as 'enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted'. They note that the neighbourhood is beautiful and green, with nature that truly enchants you, yet it can feel too quiet and isolated. The area is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads, and when the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, traffic jams are common. Amenities are sparse, there isn't a single café or ice cream parlour. The neighbourhood is mostly families and couples, with a mix of ages.
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar and Dekamarkt are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Christian primary school Het Baken is on your doorstep, and openbare basisschool Het Eiland and RK De Rietvink are a five-minute walk. For secondary school, Compaen vmbo is a couple of streets away. The municipality Zaanstad provides the wider context, with parks and a restaurant within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Saen Garantiemakelaars Zaandam.

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.
