Kalf, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Vledderdiep sits in a quiet part of Zaandam, where the streets are wide and the gardens are green. With 142 m² of living space and a 105 m² plot, it offers room for a family without feeling oversized. The energy label B means the home is reasonably efficient, so heating bills should be manageable. Compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad, the asking price of €575,000 is in line with the market.
Kalf is a mixed neighbourhood of about 3,800 residents, with a good number of families and older people. One resident describes it as 'cosy' and says: 'Everyone is there for each other, a big family.' Another resident gives a more nuanced view: '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.' Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.01 out of 10. The neighbourhood Kalf has a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes, with 70% single-family houses.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, just 146 metres away. There are several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk, including Lidl, Aldi and AH XL. For school runs, Interconfessionele Basisschool De Vuurvogel is a couple of streets away, and Openbare Basisschool Kogerveld is about a ten-minute walk. Secondary schools like St. Michaël College and Zuiderzee College are also within walking or cycling distance. The municipality Zaanstad provides the usual municipal services, and the area has a community centre that some residents feel could use more attention.

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.
