This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing. A small patch of grass that is used as a poop field for dogs. And on the other side of our house, the Houthaven quay is being built. Away sun, away freedom; the flats are so close that we have to sit with the curtains closed.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings. When there has been a market, it often takes another day before it's cleaned up. In my complex, only foreign people live, so I have little contact with the neighbours.

About Hogendijk 40B, Zaandam
The asking price of €259,000 is 32% below the average asking price in the Russische buurt (€383,282) and also below the minimum asking price of €265,000 in the neighbourhood. However, the home is a compact studio of 35 m², which is 58% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 83 m². Given the size and the condition reflected in the energy label C, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small studio in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (1930). It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes have label A+ or better, so this studio is less efficient than many newer properties.
Based on two resident reviews, safety is a concern. One reviewer says it's "not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings." The other mentions the area is "dilapidated" and that the municipality does little. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 764, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just 170 metres away, and Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are within 500 metres. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including ICBS het Zaanplein and OBS Herman Gorter. The train station is 0.9 km away, so about a ten-minute walk. Restaurants and a library are also close by.
At 35 m², this studio is significantly smaller than the average home in the Russische buurt, which has a mean floor area of 83 m². It's 58% smaller, so it's a compact living space. The neighbourhood has a mix of property types, with 34% being single-family homes and the rest apartments, so studios are less common.
The Russische buurt has 2,730 residents, with a high proportion of single-person households (755 out of 1,175 households). There are 355 households with children. The age distribution is skewed towards 25-45 year olds (1,045), with 415 aged 65 or over. It's a very urban area with a high address density.
