Quiet to live in, lots of green. Look at the end of the street onto meadows and birthplace. Only few shops. 1 supermarket, baker, hairdresser, Etos, snack bar, plant shop. Miss a small market where you can buy fresh vegetables weekly.

Auto-translated to English by AIPeople greet each other here and the houses are nicely varied and not too close together (exception: Bahnehof new-build!). Unfortunately, very few shops. It's usually reasonably tidy and quiet here. But often nuisance from fireworks, all year round, late in the evening! It's a shame the planes fly so low, you have to turn the TV up louder. There's nothing for young people to do, but also little for adults. That's why I'm organising a big event on 28 September. And more parties will follow, so we'll just hang the bunting ourselves! Accessibility is a disaster with only one access road and one bus. They should have thought about that better. Oh, and we often have to wait for closed railway barriers to get out of 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 AIThe rest of Assendelft is difficult to reach, the neighbourhood bus only runs once an hour between 9 and 18, but otherwise it's very pleasant living here. All amenities are available, many schools, greenery.

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