Westerwatering Noord, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis 1990s terraced house on P. Boorsmastraat sits in Westerwatering Noord, a neighbourhood that feels more like a nature reserve than a suburb. With 157 m² of living space and a 209 m² plot, there is room to spread out. The energy label A means low heating costs. At €695,000, the price is in line with other terraced houses in Zaanstad.
One resident describes it as "enchantingly quiet, but sometimes too deserted." They note: "It's a beautiful and green neighbourhood, with nature that truly enchants you. Yet sometimes it can feel too quiet and isolated." The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads, and when the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, traffic jams can build up. There is no café or ice cream parlour nearby. The neighbourhood Westerwatering Noord is home to mostly families and couples, with a mix of ages.
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar and Dekamarkt are a ten-minute walk away. Three primary schools are within a couple of streets away: Chr Basisschool Het Baken, Openbare basisschool Het Eiland, and RK Basisschool de Rietvink. A secondary school, Compaen vmbo, is a five-minute walk. The municipality Zaanstad offers parks and green spaces nearby.

It's a beautiful and green neighbourhood, with nature that truly enchants you. Yet sometimes it can feel too quiet and isolated. The neighbourhood is connected to the rest of the city by only two roads. When the bridge 'De Binding' is closed, only one route remains to civilisation — which regularly leads to traffic jams. Additionally, there is unfortunately a lack of good amenities. There isn't a single café or ice cream parlour in the area; for a simple cup of coffee or a treat, you have to travel miles. The infrastructure could certainly be improved to make life here more pleasant and better connected.

About P. Boorsmastraat 4, Zaandam
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.
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. Amenities are limited: there is no café or ice cream parlour, and the neighbourhood is connected to the rest of Zaandam by only two roads, which can lead to traffic jams when the bridge is closed.
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.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Chr Basisschool Het Baken (143 m), Openbare basisschool Het Eiland (210 m), and RK Basisschool de Rietvink (210 m). For secondary education, Compaen vmbo is 491 m away. All are within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy.
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.
The plot size is 209 m², which suggests there is outdoor space, but the listing does not specify whether it is a garden, terrace, or courtyard.
