Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis energy-efficient apartment (label A+++) is part of a recent development in Zaandam's Russische buurt. The listing does not state a year of construction. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,340 per month, the rent is 14% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567, making it a keenly priced option compared to other apartments in Zaanstad.
The Russische buurt is a densely built urban area with a mix of old and new housing. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One resident says: "This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing." Another describes it as "not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings" and notes that after the market, it often takes a day to clean up. The area has a very high density of addresses (3,467 per km²) and a young population, with many 25-45 year olds. For more context, see the neighbourhood Russische buurt.
For daily shopping, you have an AH to go just around the corner, and Albert Heijn, Ekoplaza and Vomar all within a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools a short stroll away, including Openbare Basisschool De Dijk (about a ten-minute walk) and OBS Herman Gorter (also roughly ten minutes). A child daycare centre is on your doorstep. The municipality Zaanstad provides further information on local services.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Huispedia and MVGM Wonen Nieuwbouw. The agent has not published the year of construction, so that detail is not available here.

This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing. A small patch of grass that is used as a poop field for dogs. And on the other side of our house, the Houthaven quay is being built. Away sun, away freedom; the flats are so close that we have to sit with the curtains closed.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings. When there has been a market, it often takes another day before it's cleaned up. In my complex, only foreign people live, so I have little contact with the neighbours.
