Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,900 per month, the rent is 85% above the neighbourhood average of €1,567, a premium that reflects the top end of the local market. For context, see other rental homes in Zaanstad.
Based on two reviews, residents paint a mixed picture. One 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 is densely built (3,467 addresses per km²) and home to many single-person households. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Russische buurt.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are just around the corner, with AH to go also nearby. The nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool De Dijk, is a five-minute walk away, while Openbare Basisschool Et Buut and Daltonschool De Westerkim are a couple of streets further. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre of Zaandam is within easy reach. For more on the wider area, see the municipality Zaanstad.
At the time of writing the home is listed via WSM Real Estate and also appears on Pararius. The agent has not published full property details, so the information here is limited to the street and neighbourhood.

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.
