With 90 m² of living space and an E energy label, it's a practical home that asks for a bit of attention on energy costs.

Meerzicht-Oost: green and mixed
Meerzicht-Oost is a neighbourhood with two faces, according to residents. One says: "I live here with great pleasure. It is a quiet, green and pleasant neighbourhood where you can enjoy walking and nature." Another paints a less rosy picture: "The neighbourhood is really deteriorating. Unsafe feeling." Based on two reviews, the picture is mixed, the greenery and convenience are praised, but some feel safety and maintenance have slipped. The area is densely built with flats (82% of homes are apartments), and the population is diverse, with many singles and a fair share of families.

Frequently asked questions
About Belvédèrebos 81, Zoetermeer
Is €275,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €275,000 is about 30% below the average asking price in Meerzicht-Oost (€392,321) and also below the median of €315,000. Given the 90 m² floor area and E label, it's priced keenly compared to other apartments in the neighbourhood. However, the final sale price depends on the condition and how many buyers are interested.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label E is on the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy costs than with a more efficient label. The label does not directly tell you about the insulation or heating system, it's a combined score.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
Residents have mixed views. One says they feel safe and recommend the area, while another mentions an unsafe feeling, vandalism, and litter.
