Living in Snuiverbuurt, Zaanstad

Snuiverbuurt is located in the northeast of Krommenie, one of the older cores of Zaanstad. Its character is village-like and quiet, without the hustle and bustle of a city centre but also without the feeling that you are far from everything. The housing stock largely consists of single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s, with terraced houses and semi-detached houses as the most common types. Detached homes are scarce, but they do explain the outliers at the top of the price range.

In terms of amenities, you can manage well in Snuiverbuurt. The centre of Krommenie is within cycling distance and offers a supermarket (including an Albert Heijn), a pharmacy, primary schools and a few local shops. Sports clubs are represented via football club VV Krommenie, and there are playgrounds and green strips in the neighbourhood itself. For a larger range of shops or a hospital, you have to rely on Zaandam, but that is easily accessible by car or bus.

Accessibility is a point that residents often mention. By car, you can quickly reach the A8 via the N203 and from there to Amsterdam or Alkmaar. Public transport goes via bus lines towards Zaandam, where you can transfer to the train. Zaandam station is about a ten to fifteen-minute drive. A car or bicycle is not a luxury in Snuiverbuurt, as direct public transport connections are limited. Cyclists have it easier: the flat Zaan polder makes cycling to Krommenie centre or to neighbouring neighbourhoods pleasant.

Residents particularly appreciate the neighbourhood for its peace and social cohesion. On the main neighbourhood page of Snuiverbuurt you will find all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident describes the neighbourhood as follows: "It's really quiet living here, neighbours know each other and children play outside on the street. Not exciting, but nice." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited nightlife and the dependence on the car for larger shopping trips.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Zuiderhoofdbuurt and Noorderhoofdbuurt, Snuiverbuurt has a slightly higher average WOZ value, which is related to the larger homes and the higher proportion of owner-occupied homes. Rosariumbuurt offers a different living environment within the same district as an alternative. Those looking for more urban dynamics can also look at Zaandam Zuid or Rosmolenwijk.
