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 Czaar Peterstraat 80, Zaandam
The asking price of €420,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €383,282 and the median of €342,250. However, this home has 125 m² of floor space, which is 51% larger than the typical 83 m² in the Russische buurt. The price per m² works out to about €3,360, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,981 per m². So while the total price is high, you get more space for your money.
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though actual bills depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes have label A or better, so this home is slightly less efficient than many nearby.
Residents have mixed views on safety. One review mentions it's "not really safe in the neighbourhood in the evenings." Another notes the area is deteriorating and the municipality is unresponsive. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 764, which is relatively high given the population of 2,730. It's worth considering your own comfort level, especially after dark.
Several primary schools are within walking distance. Openbare Basisschool Et Buut is about 650 m away, Daltonschool De Westerkim is 690 m, and ICBS het Zaanplein is 755 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 2.1 km away. There are also childcare options, with a day-care centre just 200 m from the house.
The train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or other cities straightforward. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 3,467), so public transport and amenities are generally close by.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot size is 113 m², but that includes the footprint of the house. Without explicit information, it's not possible to say whether there is a private outdoor space.
The floor area is 125 m², which is spacious for a terraced house, but the layout is not described. You would need to contact the agent to find out the exact room configuration.
