Burgemeestersbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis 1929 terraced house on C.Th. Kamphuijsstraat brings a bit of history to your daily life. With 80 m² of living space and a 98 m² plot, it's compact but full of character. The energy label D means you'll want to budget for heating, but the price is keen: at €350,000 it sits 18% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €424,750. For context, that's a notable gap compared to other terraced houses in Zaanstad.

Another notes it's "very close to Amsterdam (10 minutes by car)" with good infrastructure and plenty of schools. The area has a mix of ages, with many families and a strong sense of community. The neighbourhood Burgemeestersbuurt is predominantly pre-war housing, and the streets have a settled, leafy feel.
For your morning loaf, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Vomar and AH XL are a couple of streets away. OBS Herman Gorter primary school is on your doorstep, and VMBO Pascal Zuid secondary school is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality Zaanstad offers plenty of parks and restaurants within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Raek Makelaars B.V. and Funda.

Reasonable, but compared to 20 years ago. Too busy with traffic.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a quiet neighbourhood with beautiful houses. There are plenty of primary and secondary schools in the area, but unfortunately no universities or colleges. It is very close to Amsterdam (10 minutes by car), which is always nice. The infrastructure is very good and there are more and more improvements. It is a shame that there is not a larger centre, because at the moment there are only clothing stores, terraces and restaurants. House prices are also getting more expensive, and are starting to look more and more like those in Amsterdam. There are also plenty of sports clubs. The only problem is the Poelenburg district, where there are sometimes issues. I hope that more attention will be paid to that.
Auto-translated to English by AIgenerally I don't experience any nuisance and children can go to the playground to make friends, lots of nice people (in my experience) and I definitely recommend living here
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a fine neighbourhood, but the waste collection could be better. There's also so much loose rubbish on the streets.
