Westerwatering Noord, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis listing on Westzijderveld in Zaandam is a rental home in a remarkably green and quiet part of town. This 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 €3,750 per month, the price is on the high side compared to other rental homes in Zaanstad, but without floor area it is hard to judge value.
Westerwatering Noord is a neighbourhood that feels like a green oasis, but with a catch. One resident describes it as "Enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted" and notes: "It's a beautiful and green neighbourhood, with nature that truly enchants you. Yet sometimes it can feel too quiet and isolated." The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of Zaandam by only two roads, and when the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, traffic jams are common. Amenities are sparse, there is no café or ice cream parlour within easy reach. The neighbourhood Westerwatering Noord has around 3,775 residents, mostly families, and a high proportion of single-family homes.
For daily groceries, you have Vomar and Dekamarkt both just around the corner, and Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away. Schools are also close: De Golfbreker and Openbare Basisschool De Watermolen are a couple of streets away, and there are several other primary schools within walking distance. The municipality Zaanstad provides the broader context, with a train station about 3 km away and a park just a few minutes' walk from the street.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Interhouse makelaars Amsterdam and also appears on Pararius. The agent has not published full specifications such as floor area, year of construction or energy label.

It's a beautiful and green neighbourhood, with nature that truly enchants you. Yet sometimes it can feel too quiet and isolated. The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads. When the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, only one route remains to civilisation — which regularly leads to traffic jams. Additionally, there is unfortunately a lack of good amenities. There isn't a single café or ice cream parlour in the area; for a simple cup of coffee or a treat, you have to travel miles. The infrastructure could certainly be improved to make life here more pleasant and better connected.
