Bomenbuurt Oost, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Jacob Rekstraat sits in a leafy part of Zaandam, where the streets are calm and the pace is unhurried. With 124 m² of living space and a 187 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The asking price of €485,000 is on the high side compared to the average sale price of €450,000 in the neighbourhood, but the larger-than-average plot and energy label B add value. For context, terraced houses in Zaanstad vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Bomenbuurt Oost has only two reviews, so take them as individual impressions.

About Jacob Rekstraat 107, Zaandam
The asking price of €485,000 is above the average sale price of €450,000 for homes sold recently in Bomenbuurt Oost. However, this house has a larger-than-average plot (187 m²) and a good energy label B, which can justify the premium. The market in this neighbourhood is not very active, with only one sale recorded recently, so it's hard to say how quickly it will sell.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower, but it's not as efficient as A or A+. The exact running costs depend on your usage and energy prices.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes commuting by train feasible but not as convenient as living closer to the station.
Based on two reviews, opinions vary. One resident finds the area quiet and a bit boring, with little social interaction beyond greetings. Another gives a neutral score, suggesting it's a place where people keep to themselves. If you value peace and quiet, you'll likely fit in; if you want a bustling community, this might not be for you.
Yes, several schools are within walking distance. VMBO Pascal Zuid and Praktijkschool de Faam are just 190 m away, and primary schools like obs De Gouw (263 m) and RK basisschool Paus Joannes (276 m) are also close. This makes the area convenient for families with school-age children.
The neighbourhood recorded 69 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for an urban area. The high address density (2683 addresses per km²) means it's a busy area, but specific safety perceptions vary. The reviews don't mention crime, so it's best to visit and get a feel for the area yourself.
