About Provincialeweg, Zaandam
Why is the rent so much higher than the neighbourhood average?
The asking rent of €2,250 per month is 37% above the average rent in the Russische buurt, which stands at €1,638. Rents in the neighbourhood range from €1,300 to €2,900, so this home sits near the upper end of that range. The higher price may reflect the specific property, but without floor area or property type stated, it is not possible to say exactly what drives the difference.

These are individual experiences rather than a full picture.
How far is the train station from this home?

Why are there no property details in this listing?
123Wonen has published only the street and price on their site. As a result, the exact location within the street and some neighbourhood figures may differ from the actual home.
