Frequently asked questions
About P. Boorsmastraat 4, Zaandam
Is €695,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €695,000 is in line with the market for a terraced house of this size and energy label in Westerwatering Noord. The 157 m² floor area and 209 m² plot are generous, and the A energy label keeps running costs low. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say whether it is a bargain, but it is not overpriced for the area.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Westerwatering Noord is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a natural feel. One resident says it is 'enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted.' The area is mostly residential, with families and couples.

How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, which is about a 40-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride. This makes commuting by train less convenient than in more central neighbourhoods, but the quiet surroundings may compensate for that.

Is the house energy efficient?
Yes, the house has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect low heating costs and a good level of insulation.
What is the garden like?
