A room on Oostzijde
This listing is for a room on Oostzijde in Zaandam, a spot that puts you right in the middle of things. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, 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 room itself. At €1,000 a month, it sits well below the average rent in the area, though without a floor area it is hard to say how it compares per square metre. For context, [rooms in Zaanstad]( /huurwoningen/zaanstad/kamers/) give you an idea of what is available across the municipality.
