Westerwatering Noord, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Oldebroekstraat 23 sits in a leafy, tranquil part of Westerwatering Noord. With 96 m² of living space and a 134 m² plot, it offers a comfortable layout for a family or couple. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient, keeping heating costs manageable. At €475,000, the price is in line with what other semi-detached houses in Zaanstad typically go for.
Westerwatering Noord is a green neighbourhood with a village-like feel, yet it's part of Zaandam. One resident describes it as "enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted", a beautiful area where nature truly enchants, but where amenities are scarce. There isn't a single café or ice cream parlour; for a coffee or a treat you have to travel miles. The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads, and when the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, traffic jams are common. Most homes are owner-occupied (76%) and single-family (84%), with a mix of families and older residents. This is a neighbourhood Westerwatering Noord that suits those who value peace and greenery over urban buzz.
For your daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Dekamarkt and Vomar are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Openbare basisschool Het Eiland and RK Basisschool de Rietvink are both a five-minute walk, and Compaen vmbo for secondary education is also within easy reach. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, perfect for a stroll. The municipality Zaanstad provides the broader setting, with Zaandam's centre a short drive away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Brantjes Makelaars Zaandam. The listing is complete with all key details provided.

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.
