Prins Hendrikbuurt is a lively, urban neighbourhood where life moves at a fast pace. One resident describes it as a 'Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan', noting: 'Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together… almost everyone has a fast life here.' The same review mentions that the area feels reasonably safe and that neighbours would help if needed. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores a 7.25 out of 10. The neighbourhood Prins Hendrikbuurt is densely populated, with many single-person households and a mix of ages, though green space is somewhat lacking.
For daily errands, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, ICBS het Zaanplein and OBS Herman Gorter, are within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. The municipality Zaanstad offers plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, and the train station is a ten-minute walk, so commuting is straightforward.

Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together (including myself), almost everyone has a fast life here, it would be nice if people were sometimes less rushed and took it easy doing something for someone else, this could be something very small like greeting someone kindly or letting someone go ahead. The neighbourhood could also be a bit tidier in some places, there is rubbish lying in the streets, also from all the DIY that goes on a lot. Furthermore, there are primary schools in the area but they are very full. Also secondary education which is not far by bike. There are restaurants, cafés, lunch spots, a supermarket, bike repair shop, hairdresser, much more and the city of course, which is very close. Also there is regularly a nice party at the Burcht and the river Zaan is nice to walk along. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, if something unpleasant were to happen that is seen by residents, I am quite sure they would come to help if needed. Green space is unfortunately somewhat lacking, in principle logical because it's the Randstad but I think it could easily be a lot greener, especially the gardens.

About Zuiddijk 35, Zaandam
The asking price of €300,000 is 27% below the average asking price in Prins Hendrikbuurt (€410,636) and also below the median of €362,500. However, the flat is smaller than average at 52 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average. Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a flat of this type.
The energy label is C, which is average for a flat of this age (built in 1993). You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but far from the high bills of a G-label property. In the neighbourhood, 35% of homes have label C, and another 35% have a lower label, so this one sits in the middle of the pack.
Prins Hendrikbuurt is very urban (the address density is 3,864 per km²). You have a Dekamarkt supermarket just around the corner, and several primary schools within a five-minute walk.
