Prins Hendrikbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis 1928 semi-detached house on Steijnstraat sits in the Prins Hendrikbuurt, a lively part of Zaandam. With 91 m² of living space and a C energy label, it's a solid home that needs a bit of TLC. The asking price of €375,000 is in line with the market, where the median is €362,500 and the average €410,636. For context, semi-detached houses in Zaanstad typically sell for around that.
One resident describes the neighbourhood Prins Hendrikbuurt as a "Volksklusbuurt", a DIY neighbourhood where people are generally nice but could pull together more. They note that "almost everyone has a fast life here" and wish for a bit more neighbourly kindness. The area feels reasonably safe, and there's a good mix of amenities: restaurants, cafés, a supermarket, and the river Zaan for walks. Green space is somewhat lacking, which is typical for the Randstad. The neighbourhood is densely populated with 2,925 residents, mostly singles and couples, and a high proportion of pre-war homes.
For your daily shopping, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and AH XL is a five-minute walk away. Primary schools are close: OBS Herman Gorter is a couple of streets away, and ICBS het Zaanplein is within a five-minute walk. Secondary education is a ten-minute bike ride. The municipality Zaanstad offers plenty of local amenities, including a park within a five-minute walk and a train station about 1.9 km away.

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.
