The asking price of €375,000 is in line with the neighbourhood market. The average sold price in Noorderham is around €429,000, and the median asking price for current listings is €340,000. Given the floor area of 74 m², the price per m² is about €5,068, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,010 per m². However, the home is priced competitively compared to recent sales.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label D or lower, while 37.5% have label C and 25% have label B. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs may be higher than in a more modern home. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing.
Noorderham has a mix of families and couples, with about 570 households with children. Residents mention that "many young families have moved in" in recent years. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area is quiet with a view of the Ham. However, some reviews note that the neighbourhood could be tidier and that there is some nuisance.
Albert Heijn is 563 m away, just around the corner. PLUS and Dekamarkt are within 800 m. For primary education, De Hoeksteen is 327 m away, De Overhaal is 806 m, and De Evenaar is 1,058 m. The Zaanstreek College for secondary education is 1,080 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk or short cycle.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km from the home. That's about a 25-minute walk or a 7-minute cycle. The listing does not specify which station, but Krommenie has a station on the Sprinter line between Uitgeest and Amsterdam.
The plot is 118 m², which is typical for a terraced house in this area. The listing does not mention a garden, so it's unclear whether there is a private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden 0.3 km away.
The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 74 m² of floor area, it likely has two or three bedrooms, but this is not confirmed. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The home was built in 1961 and has energy label D, which suggests it may need some updates to improve efficiency. The listing does not mention any recent renovations or the condition of the kitchen, bathroom, or roof. A viewing would be necessary to assess the state of the property.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
My feeling says that people should be nicer to each other, keep the neighbourhood tidy, and there should be less nuisance in the flat. And people can help each other to keep it tidy too.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is well-maintained, beautiful view of the Ham. Everyone looks after each other when we need each other. In recent years, many young families have moved in.
Auto-translated to English by AINot good, few facilities. Not a nice neighbourhood and it quickly gets dirty here, the greenery is not pruned and cobwebs are not removed. Also nuisance in the neighbourhood.

How residents experience their municipality
Living in Zaandam is like having a front-row seat to a modern Dutch fairy tale, but with a raw, industrial soul that keeps it grounded. While tourists at the station stare at the "Lego hotel", the magic for us locals lies in the quiet corners along the Zaan. The daily rhythm: in the morning you usually smell chocolate – really. Depending on the wind, the local cocoa factories (like ADM or Cargill) envelop the entire city in a warm, brownie-like scent. It's the ultimate "gezellige buurt" perk you won't find in travel guides. My favourite local spots: De Hemmes: This is my favourite "secret" spot. It's a small peninsula jutting into the Zaan. It's wild, industrial, and perfect for a sunset walk when you want to see the windmills of Zaanse Schans in the distance without the crowds of tourist buses. BIND: Located on the old Hembrug terrain, this is the heart of the community. It's an old transformer building turned into a living-room café. There's a wood stove, various rugs, and someone is always playing guitar or hosting a small art workshop. The 'Dam' (Zaandam-style): On Friday nights we go to the square by the lock. It's much more intimate than Dam Square in Amsterdam. Sitting at Wonder's or Manzo's with a beer, watching the boats sail through the Wilhelminasluis, is how we truly unwind.

Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy neighbourhood with lots of greenery. Unfortunately, many homes have mould and there are many loitering youths in the area. This affects safety.
