Ditches, meadows and neighbours who truly look out for each other
Living in Assendelft-Zuid feels different from living in an average Zaanstad new-build neighbourhood. The neighbourhood borders open polder landscape, and you can tell. Behind the last rows of houses lie meadows and ditches that directly connect to the agricultural Assendelft. Residents greatly appreciate this: on Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores an 8.4 out of 10, with notably high marks for community (9.0), green space (9.0), housing (9.3) and education (9.3). Rita describes it as follows: "Lovely old neighbourhood with ditches and meadows. Fantastic neighbourhood, lots of contact with each other, even when someone is ill we pick up groceries for each other. If something is wrong, we help each other." That image is echoed in several reviews. On the neighbourhood page of Assendelft-Zuid you can read all reviews and see the full neighbourhood data.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well equipped. There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and the score for education is therefore one of the highest. For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets along the Middenweg, the main road that cuts through the neighbourhood. Sports clubs, including football clubs and a swimming pool in the region, are easily accessible. Linda, another resident, indicates that the neighbourhood is child-friendly and that children can play safely, but adds a note about parking: "Too little parking space, especially when schools start and finish." That is a concrete point to consider if you have your eye on a home on streets near a school. The lowest sub-score is for beauty (5.7), which suggests that the public space in some places could use a bit more attention.
Accessibility scores well: an 8.7. Assendelft-Zuid lies along the N203, from which you quickly reach the A8 and A9 motorways. Amsterdam is about a 25-minute drive away.

Nice neighbourhood for small children and young families. Good amenities in the area in terms of shops and schools. Safe for children to play. Pleasant social control. Too little parking, especially when schools start and end. Sometimes nuisance from young people, although that has been going very well lately. Cosy and social neighbours and neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIFantastic neighbourhood, lots of contact with each other, also when ill and we take groceries for each other. If something is wrong we help each other, for example during a storm saving a roof by means of a tarp if you see the neighbour struggling. And so much more. Behind here lie the meadows from Assendelft to Beverwijk. Uitgeest. We'll stay here until the end!♡♡♡♡
Auto-translated to English by AIVery social neighbourhood with nice people. For example, if someone is ill, another person does their grocery shopping, etc. Occasionally a party, but you just join in everyone's party. We look after each other's cats when away. The only thing everyone is annoyed by is the weeds that new neighbours don't remove in the alleys, and unfortunately you're not allowed to say anything about it. The older residents always do it, and you have to cycle through them.
