Homes for sale in Krommenie Oost, Zaanstad

House prices in Krommenie Oost: below the Zaanstad average, but rising

Of the more than 4,065 homes in Krommenie Oost, 47% are owner-occupied, with the rest largely social housing. The average WOZ value is €332,000, noticeably lower than the municipal average of €368,000 for Zaanstad. However, actual transactions tell a different story: over the past twelve months, 32 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €442,375, with a range from €195,000 to €1,150,000. This wide spread says a lot about the varied supply, from compact apartments to larger single-family homes. The share of detached houses is limited; the neighbourhood mainly consists of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the post-war period and later expansions. For current asking prices and available supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.

Anyone considering buying an apartment in Krommenie Oost will find options at the lower end of the range, but here too the market is tightening. Buying in Krommenie Oost is thus more attractively priced than in many other Zaanstad neighbourhoods, although that does not mean you will secure a home without a struggle.

Krommenie Oost from the inside: green ribbon along the water, but everything within walking distance

Living in Krommenie Oost feels different from the busier parts of Zaanstad. The neighbourhood has a village character that suits historic Krommenie, with the Nauerna and the Krommenieer Wiel as green and watery edges. Residents on Buurtje.nl give the neighbourhood an 8.2 out of 10, a solid score. Particularly striking are the exceptionally high scores for safety (10.0) and amenities (10.0). One resident describes the area as a place where you have everything within reach without the hustle and bustle of the city. The beauty of the surroundings also scores high (9.0), which is recognisable for anyone cycling through the older streets towards the water. Green scores somewhat lower (6.0), which is understandable: the neighbourhood is fairly densely built-up, although the waterfronts offer a welcome compensation. Read all experiences and neighbourhood data on the Krommenie Oost neighbourhood page.

In terms of amenities, the high score is justified. In and directly around the neighbourhood you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Aldi, a GP practice, dentists and various shops for daily groceries. Primary schools such as De Regenboog and other schools in Krommenie serve families in the neighbourhood. Sports clubs are also present: football club KFC Krommenie and various other clubs are nearby. The Noorderhoofdbuurt and the Rosariumbuurt directly border Krommenie Oost and each offer their own character, from slightly quieter residential streets to more mixed development.

Accessibility is well arranged for a neighbourhood outside the centre. Bus connections via Connexxion take you to Zaandam, where you can transfer to the train towards Amsterdam Central (about 20 minutes). By car, you can quickly reach the Amsterdam ring road via the A8. Cyclists can reach the centre of Krommenie in a few minutes. The accessibility score of 8.0 from residents is therefore realistic: it works, but having your own car or bike makes life much easier. Compare this with neighbourhoods such as Zaandam Zuid or the Kogerveldwijk, then Krommenie Oost is a bit further from the train station, but compensates with peace and space. More information about living and residing in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Zaanstad.

For whom is buying a house in Krommenie Oost a good choice?

Krommenie Oost mainly attracts families and people aged 45 to 65, and this is visible in the quiet, stable atmosphere of the neighbourhood. First-time buyers looking for a home under €300,000 will have little choice based on recent transactions, but at the lower end of the market, affordable apartments can sometimes still be found. Movers and families seeking space without big-city pretensions are better off here. Bear in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers) and notary fees.
