A compact studio on Kerkerak
This studio on Kerkerak in Zaandam is a compact, energy-efficient home in the Russische buurt. The listing does not state a year of construction, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the building itself. At €1,283 per month, the rent sits 31% below the neighbourhood average of €1,862, which makes it a keen option for a studio. For context, studios in Zaanstad give an idea of what else is available in the municipality.
The Russische buurt
The Russische buurt neighbourhood is a mixed, densely populated area where half of households are single people and the average household size is 1.8. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One resident says: "This neighbourhood is deteriorating; people are increasingly less willing to keep their own street clean. And from the municipality you can expect absolutely nothing." Another notes: "It'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." The reviews reflect concerns about upkeep and safety, while the area remains close to the water and the Houthaven quay development.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza are just around the corner, with a Vomar a short walk away. The AH to go at the station is also nearby, handy for a quick stop on the way out. For families, Openbare Basisschool De Dijk is a ten-minute walk, and Openbare Basisschool Et Buut is a couple of streets further. The train station is within walking distance, which makes commuting straightforward. The municipality of Zaanstad covers the wider area, including the historic centre and the Zaan river.
