Prins Hendrikbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Zuiddijk sits right on the river Zaan, with a lively mix of old and new in the neighbourhood. At 282 m² it is a substantial home, and the price of €1,200,000 is well above the local average, partly because homes of this size are rare in the Prins Hendrikbuurt. For context, the average asking price in the area is €410,636, so this is a premium property. You can see how it compares to other semi-detached houses in Zaanstad.
The Prins Hendrikbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a strong DIY spirit. One resident describes it as a "Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan", a working-class area where people are generally friendly but could do more to keep the streets tidy. They note that "almost everyone has a fast life here" and that a bit more neighbourliness would be welcome. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, and there are plenty of local amenities: restaurants, cafés, a supermarket, and the river Zaan for walks. Green space is limited, which is typical for the Randstad. The neighbourhood Prins Hendrikbuurt is home to around 2,925 people, with a mix of ages and a high proportion of single-person households.
For daily shopping, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including OBS Herman Gorter (a five-minute walk) and ICBS het Zaanplein. Secondary education is a short bike ride away. The municipality Zaanstad offers a wide range of amenities, and the city centre of Zaandam is very close, with restaurants, cafés, and the Burcht for events.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Aland Makelaars - Real estate agency and another source. The listing is available on Funda and Huispedia.

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 70, Zaandam
The asking price of €1,200,000 is significantly higher than the neighbourhood average of €410,636. However, this home is much larger than typical properties in the area (282 m² vs. 104 m² average), and it is a semi-detached house, which is a rare type in the Prins Hendrikbuurt. The price per square metre works out at about €4,255, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €4,412 per m². So while the total price is high, it reflects the size and type of the property.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient compared to modern standards. You can expect higher heating costs than a home with label A or B. In the neighbourhood, 35% of homes have label D or lower, so it is not unusual for a house built in 1922.
The Prins Hendrikbuurt has a mix of households: about 420 with children and 690 single-person households. There are primary schools nearby, but one resident notes that they are "very full".
