Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Rozengracht in Zaandam is a modern find with an A++ energy label, meaning very low heating costs. The listing does not state a year of construction. At €315,000, the price is 18% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €383,282, making it a keen option for a first home or investment. For context, apartments in Zaanstad vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Russische buurt is densely built with a mix of pre-war and modern homes. It's a very urban area (over 3,400 addresses per km²), with many singles and young adults. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided: one resident calls it "dilapidated" and says "the neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean." Another finds it "not really safe in the evenings" and notes that after the market, "it often takes another day before it's cleaned up." The neighbourhood has a high crime rate (764 incidents), which is worth considering.
For groceries, Vomar is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are just around the corner. Primary schools are a five-minute walk away: ICBS het Zaanplein and Openbare Basisschool Et Buut. The municipality Zaanstad offers good public transport links, with Zaandam station a ten-minute walk away. Restaurants and a park are also within easy reach.
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.
