Driemanspolder, Zoetermeer
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Alexanderstraat sits in a lively part of Zoetermeer, where the streets have a distinctly urban feel. At 64 m² it's compact but well laid out, and with an energy label C it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €297,500 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, about 26% below the average asking price of €399,987, partly because the home is smaller than the typical property in the area. For context, apartments in Zoetermeer vary widely in size and price.

For daily groceries, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and there's an Aldi a couple of streets away. The AH XL is a ten-minute walk for a bigger shop.

About Alexanderstraat 107, Zoetermeer
