Prins Hendrikbuurt, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Krugerstraat has a lived-in feel that matches its 1924 origins. With 76 m² of floor space and a 65 m² plot, it's a compact home in a neighbourhood where most houses are older too. The asking price of €300,000 is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €410,636, which makes it a keen option compared to other terraced houses in Zaanstad.
Prins Hendrikbuurt is a lively, urban area with a mix of people and a bit of a rough edge. One resident describes it as a "Volksklusbuurt aan de zaan", a DIY neighbourhood by the river, where people are generally nice but could pull together more. They note that the streets could be tidier, with rubbish from all the home improvement projects. Green space is limited, but the river Zaan offers a pleasant walk. The neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, and residents would help if needed. Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores a 7.25 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945, and about half are owner-occupied. For more context, see the Prins Hendrikbuurt neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, the Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and an AH XL is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including OBS Herman Gorter and ICBS het Zaanplein, both a couple of streets away. Secondary education is a short bike ride. Restaurants and cafés are on your doorstep, and the city centre of Zaandam is close by. The area is densely built up, typical of the Randstad, but the park or public garden is a ten-minute walk. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Zaanstad.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Saen Garantiemakelaars Zaandam.

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 Krugerstraat 54, Zaandam
The asking price of €300,000 is 27% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€410,636). However, the floor area of 76 m² is also 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 104 m². So the price per square metre is roughly in line with the local market. Given the compact size and older construction, the price seems keen but not unusually low.
The home has energy label C. This is a middling score, it means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not the most efficient home on the market. In the neighbourhood, 35% of homes have label C, and another 35% have label D or lower.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: about 26% have children, 22% are couples without children, and 42% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and secondary education is 1.2 km away. The resident review mentions that primary schools are very full, so it's worth checking availability.
The resident review says the neighbourhood feels reasonably safe, and that if something unpleasant happened, residents would likely help. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 212, but without a per-capita figure or context, it's hard to compare. Overall, it's a typical urban area with a mix of safety perceptions.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot size is 65 m², which could include outdoor space, but it's not specified. The resident review notes that gardens are small and green space is limited in the neighbourhood.
With 76 m² of floor area, it likely has two or three bedrooms, but this is not confirmed.
