Rooswijk, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Tamboerijnhof in Zaandijk's Rooswijk neighbourhood feels generous from the start. With 113 m² of living space, it is nearly twice the size of the average home sold in the area, a real find for anyone who values room to spread out. The asking price of €450,000 sits above the local median of €325,000, which reflects the extra square metres and the fact that similar homes here recently sold for an average of €441,500. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad tend to command a premium.
Rooswijk is a calm residential area with a mix of ages, roughly a quarter of residents are 65 or older, and a fifth are under 15. Most homes are owner-occupied (60% are single-family houses), and the streets are lined with properties from the 1960s and 1970s. The neighbourhood feels settled and safe, with 185 reported incidents per year, below the national average for a suburb of this size. One resident describes it as "a peaceful place where neighbours still look out for each other." Another says: "It's close to the river and the polders, perfect for evening walks." The municipality Zaanstad maintains the public spaces well, and the area has a moderately urban feel (address density 1,389 per km²).
Your morning bread run is a two-minute walk to the Albert Heijn, and there's a SPAR just under a kilometre away for top-ups. For school runs, the primary school Het SchatRijk is 185 metres down the road, and the secondary school Het Saenredam is even closer, you can hear the bell from your front door. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes to Amsterdam or Zaandam straightforward. A GP surgery is five minutes on foot, and the nearest park is about the same distance, handy for a quick breath of fresh air.
