Prins Hendrikbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Kattegat sits in the Prins Hendrikbuurt, a lively part of Zaandam. Built in 1996, it has an A energy label and a floor area of 126 m² on a 278 m² plot. The asking price of €550,000 is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €410,636, which puts it on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Zaanstad.
One resident describes the area as a "Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan", a messy, DIY neighbourhood with generally nice people, though they note it could be tidier and people could be less rushed. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, and there's a good mix of amenities: restaurants, cafés, a supermarket, and the river Zaan for walks. Green space is somewhat lacking, which is typical for the Randstad. The neighbourhood Prins Hendrikbuurt is densely built with 67% single-family homes and 47% owner-occupied properties.
For daily shopping, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, with Vomar a couple of streets away and an AH XL a ten-minute walk. Primary school OBS Herman Gorter is on your doorstep, and there are several other schools within walking distance, including ICBS het Zaanplein and VMBO Pascal Zuid for secondary education. The municipality Zaanstad offers plenty of local amenities, with a restaurant just around the corner and a park a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via HVMS and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Messy neighbourhood, generally nice people but could do with more pulling together (including myself), almost everyone has a fast life here, it would be nice if people were sometimes less rushed and took it easy doing something for someone else, this could be something very small like greeting someone kindly or letting someone go ahead. The neighbourhood could also be a bit tidier in some places, there is rubbish lying in the streets, also from all the DIY that goes on a lot. Furthermore, there are primary schools in the area but they are very full. Also secondary education which is not far by bike. There are restaurants, cafés, lunch spots, a supermarket, bike repair shop, hairdresser, much more and the city of course, which is very close. Also there is regularly a nice party at the Burcht and the river Zaan is nice to walk along. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, if something unpleasant were to happen that is seen by residents, I am quite sure they would come to help if needed. Green space is unfortunately somewhat lacking, in principle logical because it's the Randstad but I think it could easily be a lot greener, especially the gardens.

About Kattegat 5A, Zaandam
The asking price of €550,000 is 34% above the average asking price in the Prins Hendrikbuurt (€410,636) and well above the median of €362,500. However, this is a mid-terrace house with a large plot of 278 m² and an A energy label, which are not typical for the area. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,412, so for 126 m² that would come to around €556,000, making the price broadly in line with that metric.
The Prins Hendrikbuurt is a densely built urban area with a mix of single-family homes and apartments. One resident describes it as a 'Volksklusbuurt', a bit messy but with generally nice people. There are plenty of amenities nearby, including restaurants, cafés, and a supermarket. Green space is limited, but the river Zaan offers a pleasant walking route. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, and residents tend to help if something happens.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. This gives you access to the wider region, including Amsterdam and other cities.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. OBS Herman Gorter is just 160 m away, and ICBS het Zaanplein is about 830 m. For secondary education, VMBO Pascal Zuid is 868 m away. The area has a total of 53 schools within 5 km, so there is plenty of choice.
