Westerwatering Noord, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on G. Molstraat sits in a green, peaceful corner of Zaandam. With 111 m² of living space and an A energy label, it's an efficient home in a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a city suburb. The asking price of €400,000 is in line with the market for terraced houses in Zaanstad.
Westerwatering Noord is a quiet, green neighbourhood with mostly families and single-family homes. One resident describes it as 'enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted', noting that the area is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads, which can lead to traffic jams when the bridge is closed. They also mention a lack of amenities: 'There isn't a single café or ice cream parlour in the area; for a simple cup of coffee or a treat, you have to travel miles.' Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores a 7.13 out of 10. For more context, see the Westerwatering Noord neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Vomar and Dekamarkt a couple of streets away. Primary schools are within walking distance: Chr Basisschool Het Baken is a five-minute walk, and both Openbare basisschool Het Eiland and RK Basisschool de Rietvink are just a few minutes further. Secondary school Compaen vmbo is also a short walk. The nearest park is on your doorstep, and a GP and restaurant are both a ten-minute walk. The train station is a bit further, about 3.2 km away.

It's a beautiful and green neighbourhood, with nature that truly enchants you. Yet sometimes it can feel too quiet and isolated. The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads. When the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, only one route remains to civilisation — which regularly leads to traffic jams. Additionally, there is unfortunately a lack of good amenities. There isn't a single café or ice cream parlour in the area; for a simple cup of coffee or a treat, you have to travel miles. The infrastructure could certainly be improved to make life here more pleasant and better connected.
