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 20G, Zaandam
The asking price of €305,000 is 20% below the average asking price in the Russische buurt (€383,282) and also below the median of €342,250. However, the apartment is compact at 48 m², which is 42% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 83 m². Given the energy-efficient A++ label and the central location, the price appears competitive for a smaller home.
The energy label is A++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the Russische buurt, 62.5% of homes have an A+ label or better, so this apartment is among the most efficient in the area.
Residents have mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions it's 'not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings.' The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 764, but without context it's hard to compare. It's worth being aware of the neighbourhood's character, especially if you plan to be out late.
Vomar is just 39 metres away, so you can do your daily shopping in a minute. Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are about 328 metres away, and Dirk is 492 metres. There's also an AH to go at 528 metres. You have plenty of options within a short walk.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is 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. The home itself has an A++ energy label, suggesting it is relatively modern or well-renovated.
