Rental homes in Krommenie Oost, Zaanstad

What does a rental property cost in Krommenie Oost?

Krommenie Oost is a neighbourhood where the rental market is firmly established: 53% of the more than 4,065 homes are rental properties. Of these, the largest share (44% of the total) is owned by housing associations, meaning the private sector is relatively small here. In the private sector, the average rent over the past twelve months was €1,428 per month, with a range from €650 to €1,966. The average size of those homes was 62 m², so you pay quite a bit per square metre. That is striking for a neighbourhood where the WOZ value of €332,000 is below the average for Zaanstad (€368,000). The average disposable income of €33,600 is also below the municipal average of €35,800, which makes the pressure on affordable rental homes in Krommenie Oost even more noticeable.

Krommenie Oost: an 8.2 from residents, but where is the nuance?

Residents on Buurtje.nl give Krommenie Oost an 8.2 out of 10. That sounds solid, and if you look at the sub-scores, two things immediately stand out: safety and amenities both score a perfect 10. That is remarkable. Residents feel safe here and experience that everything is within easy reach. The beauty of the neighbourhood scores a 9, which fits the image of a well-maintained living environment. Education scores an 8, accessibility likewise, and housing itself also gets an 8. The only area where Krommenie Oost scores lower is green space: a 6. That is not dramatic, but it stands out in a region where you might expect the Zaan greenery. Community scores a 7, which indicates that social cohesion is fine but not the neighbourhood's strongest point.

Krommenie Oost has a village character that you would not immediately expect from a neighbourhood within the municipality of Zaanstad. The Zuiderhoofdbuurt and the Noorderhoofdbuurt form the core, with a mix of terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s and newer apartments. Along the Rosariumlaan you will find the Rosariumbuurt, which is laid out slightly more spaciously. The Snuiverbuurt has a somewhat more compact structure. Shopping centre Krommenie on the Zuiderhoofdstraat offers daily groceries, and station Krommenie-Assendelft is within cycling distance for connections towards Amsterdam. The neighbourhood feels like a place where you know your neighbours, but where you can also be left alone if you want. On the neighbourhood page of Krommenie Oost you can read all resident experiences and detailed neighbourhood data.

In terms of accessibility, you are reasonably well off: the A8 towards Amsterdam is nearby, and the bus lines take you to Zaandam Centrum. Yet Krommenie Oost is not a neighbourhood where you have much public transport late in the evening. A car is not a luxury but a necessity for many residents. The municipality of Zaanstad is investing in better cycling connections, but that is still a work in progress.
