Kalf is a neighbourhood of about 3,800 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied and many are family houses. Two residents describe it as 'cosy'. One says: '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.' Another resident calls it 'a big family' where everyone is there for each other. The neighbourhood Kalf has a mix of ages, with a noticeable share of residents aged 65 and over.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is on your doorstep. For a bigger shop, there are several supermarkets a couple of streets away. Children can walk to Interconfessionele Basisschool De Vuurvogel, which is just around the corner. For secondary school, the St. Michaël College is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Zaanstad offers plenty of green space, with a park or public garden a ten-minute walk away.

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.
