Kalf, Zaanstad
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Slochterdiep sits in a quiet part of Zaandam, where the streets are lined with similar homes from the 1980s. With 118 m² of living space and a 107 m² plot, it offers a practical layout for a family. The price of €485,000 is in line with what other terraced houses in Zaanstad go for.
Kalf is a neighbourhood of about 3,800 people, with a mix of families and older residents. Two residents describe it as 'cosy', one says 'everyone is there for each other, a big family', while another notes it's 'usually a nice neighbourhood with nice people' but points out that the area around Trefplein can feel less safe in the evening. The neighbourhood Kalf has a suburban feel, with mostly single-family homes and a moderate density.
For your morning bread, the Dekamarkt is just around the corner. Two primary schools are within a ten-minute walk: Interconfessionele Basisschool De Vuurvogel and Openbare Basisschool Kogerveld. The St. Michaël College for secondary education is also a couple of streets away. The municipality Zaanstad provides the usual amenities, with a GP practice and a restaurant within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Bert van Vulpen makelaars + hypotheken Krommenie and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

It varies. It's usually a nice neighbourhood with nice people. You say hello to each other when you walk or cycle past. But it can sometimes be a bit unsafe in some places. Around the Trefplein is the hangout spot for the young people in the neighbourhood. You don't want to cycle past there alone in the evening. They also leave rubbish behind, which is a real shame. There is also a community centre that, in my opinion, could do with a bit more attention. This could be done, for example, through posters, flyers or something similar.

About Slochterdiep 18, Zaandam
The asking price of €485,000 is in line with what other between-woningen in Zaanstad sell for. Without specific market data for this street, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not unusually high for a 118 m² home from 1984 with a garden plot.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house of this age. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. The label is based on the home's insulation and installations.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. It's not on your doorstep, but it's manageable for commuting.
Residents give mixed reviews. One says it's 'usually a nice neighbourhood with nice people', but mentions that the Trefplein area can feel unsafe in the evening due to young people hanging out. Another resident feels it's like 'a big family'. Overall, it's a quiet area with some local concerns.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. The nearest primary school, Interconfessionele Basisschool De Vuurvogel, is about 600 m away, and Openbare Basisschool Kogerveld is about 1.1 km. For secondary education, St. Michaël College is around 800 m away.
The closest supermarket is a Dekamarkt at 252 m, just a few minutes' walk. Other options include another Dekamarkt, a Lidl, and an Aldi within 1.3,1.5 km, so daily shopping is convenient.
The house was built in 1984, so it's about 40 years old. With an energy label C, it's likely had some updates but may need modernisation in areas like the kitchen or bathroom. The listing doesn't specify the interior condition.
