Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Rozengracht in Zaandam is a compact but well-finished home with an A++ energy label, meaning very low heating costs. The listing does not state the year of construction. As a result, some details about the building's age are not available. At €339,500, the price is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €342,250, and the 58 m² floor area is 30% smaller than the local average of 83 m². For context, apartments in Zaanstad vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Russische buurt is a densely built area with a very high address density (3,467 addresses per km²), typical of a strongly urban setting. It's a diverse neighbourhood: about 40% of homes are owner-occupied, and a third are single-family houses. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. 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 before it's cleaned up. The neighbourhood has a relatively young population, with many 25-45 year olds.
For groceries, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including ICBS het Zaanplein (about a five-minute walk) and Openbare Basisschool Et Buut (a bit further). The municipality Zaanstad offers a range of amenities, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Thijssen Nieuwbouw.

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.

About Rozengracht 20B, Zaandam
The asking price of €339,500 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €342,250 and well under the average of €383,282. However, the apartment is 58 m², which is 30% smaller than the local average of 83 m². Given the compact size and the A++ energy label, the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is A++, which is the highest rating. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. In the Russische buurt, 62.5% of homes have an A+ label, so this apartment is among the most efficient in the area.
Based on two resident reviews, safety is a concern. One resident says it's "not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings." The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 764, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's worth being aware of the mixed feedback.
Vomar is just 43 metres away, so you can do daily shopping on your doorstep. Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are about 300 metres away, and Dirk is around 500 metres. There's also an AH to go near the station.
The train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities convenient.
The agent has not provided the year of construction in the listing.
