NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Voorster Beek sits in a quiet part of Zaandam, where the streets are leafy and the pace is relaxed. With 110 m² of living space and a 119 m² plot, it offers a comfortable layout for a family or couple. The price of €440,000 is in line with what you'd expect for a end-of-terrace houses in Zaanstad of this size and age.
Kalf is a neighbourhood where most residents live in single-family homes, and the streets have a friendly, village-like feel. Based on two reviews, one resident calls it 'cosy' and says: 'It's usually a nice neighbourhood with nice people. You say hello to each other when you walk or cycle past.' But they also note that around Trefplein it can feel less safe in the evening, with young people hanging out and litter. Another resident describes the community as 'a big family' where everyone is there for each other. The neighbourhood Kalf has a mix of ages, with a noticeable share of older residents.
For your morning bread and groceries, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and there are plenty of other supermarkets a short drive away. The nearest primary school, Interconfessionele Basisschool De Vuurvogel, is a couple of streets away, while secondary schools like St. Michaël College are a ten-minute walk. The municipality Zaanstad offers a good range of everyday amenities within easy reach.

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.

About Voorster Beek 20, Zaandam
The asking price of €440,000 is in line with the market for a corner house of this size and age in Zaanstad. The 110 m² floor area and 119 m² plot are typical for the area, and the energy label C means moderate running costs. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for what's on offer.
Kalf is a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood with mostly single-family homes. Residents describe it as cosy and friendly, with people greeting each other on the street. However, some note that the area around Trefplein can feel less safe in the evening due to groups of young people. Overall, it's a pleasant place with a strong sense of community.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities feasible but not walkable for a daily trip.
The closest primary school is Interconfessionele Basisschool De Vuurvogel, just 339 metres away, a short walk. For secondary education, St. Michaël College is 1.5 km away, and there are several other options within a couple of kilometres.
Energy label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring costs down further. The exact consumption depends on your usage and the heating system.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot size of 119 m² suggests there is outdoor space.
