Prins Hendrikbuurt is a lively, urban neighbourhood with 2,925 residents. One resident describes it as a "Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan": "Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together… almost everyone has a fast life here." They note that the area feels reasonably safe and that neighbours would help if needed. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and singles, with many younger adults. It's densely built up, typical of the Randstad, and green space is somewhat lacking. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Prins Hendrikbuurt.
For daily shopping, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, with Vomar a couple of streets away and Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close by: OBS Herman Gorter is on your doorstep, and obs De Gouw and Openbare Basisschool De Voorzaan are a short walk. For secondary education, VMBO Pascal Zuid is about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has restaurants, cafés, a bike repair shop and more, and the river Zaan is nice for a stroll. For more on the surroundings, see municipality Zaanstad.

Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together (including myself), almost everyone has a fast life here, it would be nice if people were sometimes less rushed and took it easy doing something for someone else, this could be something very small like greeting someone kindly or letting someone go ahead. The neighbourhood could also be a bit tidier in some places, there is rubbish lying in the streets, also from all the DIY that goes on a lot. Furthermore, there are primary schools in the area but they are very full. Also secondary education which is not far by bike. There are restaurants, cafés, lunch spots, a supermarket, bike repair shop, hairdresser, much more and the city of course, which is very close. Also there is regularly a nice party at the Burcht and the river Zaan is nice to walk along. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, if something unpleasant were to happen that is seen by residents, I am quite sure they would come to help if needed. Green space is unfortunately somewhat lacking, in principle logical because it's the Randstad but I think it could easily be a lot greener, especially the gardens.
