Russische buurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis is a mid-terrace house in the Russische buurt, a neighbourhood in Zaandam that feels a bit rough around the edges. With 91 m² of living space and a 100 m² plot, it's a compact but practical home. The price of €350,000 is in line with the market, the median in the neighbourhood is €342,250, so you're paying a fair price for a home with energy label B. For more context, see terraced houses in Zaanstad.
The Russische buurt is a densely built area with a mix of pre-war and newer homes. It's very urban, over 3,400 addresses per km², and the population is diverse, with many single-person households. Reviews are mixed: one resident says it's "dilapidated" and that the neighbourhood is deteriorating, with little help from the municipality. Another describes it as "foreign" and notes it doesn't feel safe in the evenings. Based on two reviews, the average score is 5.7 out of 10. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Russische buurt.
For daily shopping, you have a Vomar just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool Et Buut and ICBS het Zaanplein. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre of Zaandam is close by. For more on the wider area, see municipality Zaanstad.

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.
