Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Rozengracht in Zaandam is a modern, energy-efficient home with an A++ label. The listing does not state a year of construction. As a result, some details about the building's age are missing. At €319,500, the asking price is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €383,282, making it a keenly priced option compared to other apartments in Zaanstad.
This neighbourhood has a mixed reputation based on two reviews. One resident describes it as "dilapidated," noting that "the neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean." Another resident finds it "foreign" and says "it's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings." The neighbourhood Russische buurt is densely populated, with many single-person households and a young demographic.
For groceries, Vomar is just around the corner, with Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. Primary schools include ICBS het Zaanplein (a five-minute walk) and Openbare Basisschool Et Buut (a ten-minute walk).

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 20K, Zaandam
The asking price of €319,500 is 17% below the average asking price in the Russische buurt (€383,282) and also below the median of €342,250. However, the flat's 54 m² floor area is 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 83 m². Given the compact size and the neighbourhood's mixed reviews, the price appears competitive but reflects the smaller living space.
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 expected. In the Russische buurt, 62.5% of homes have an A+ label or better, so this flat 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 CBS data records 764 total crimes in the area, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The neighbourhood has a very high urban density (3,467 addresses per km²), which can contribute to a busier, less quiet environment.
Vomar is just 52 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are both about 319 metres away, a couple of streets' walk. Dirk is 501 metres and AH to go is 519 metres. So daily grocery shopping is very convenient.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
The listing does not include the year of construction. This detail is not provided by the agent, so it is unknown when the building was built. The neighbourhood has a mix of older and newer homes, with 33.3% built after 2010.
