We live in a beautiful apartment on the Bentwoud and enjoy it every day in every season! The Bentwoud in particular is excellently maintained!!! The synergy and looking out for each other in the apartment complex disappoints us! That could be better! Otherwise, we live here just fine, and we also feel safe here!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on the Bentwoud, and you can see, smell and feel it! I always have the feeling that we live in a healthy environment! We also feel safe in the beautiful apartment building. The only thing that disappoints us is the sense of community in our complex Panoramique Bentwoud. Neighbours hardly know each other and have little interest in others. We often organise something but there is little to no interest, a shame especially because there are many elderly people living there who could use some help and/or attention!
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. Schools, shops, doctors. Beautiful walking/cycling routes. Quite a quiet residential area.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood, close to everything
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a really nice neighbourhood but it could be better, there's a small playground for the children and everyone lives in a terraced house which is handy because you can just walk over to reach everyone, of course very handy but some changes could be made, it's not a very hygienic environment. I've often cleaned up the area but the next day it's messy again. And the safety in this neighbourhood is just about sufficient, this is because there are often loitering youths at the playground during the day and in the evening, most children are afraid of them, I hope something can be done about this. With this I hope to win the €100 gift voucher. Greetings from the whole neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 14 years and I'm happy to live here!

About Charentestroom 73, Zoetermeer
The asking price of €500,000 is 27% below the average asking price in Oosterheem-Noord-Oost, which is €687,386. However, this apartment is also smaller than average (84 m² vs 146 m²). The price per m² works out at about €5,952, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,682 per m², reflecting the new-build status and top energy label. So the price is keen in absolute terms but premium per square metre.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump or similar modern system. Heating costs will be very low, and the home is future-proof in terms of sustainability regulations.
Oosterheem-Noord-Oost is popular with families: nearly half of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. Residents mention that the area is safe, quiet, and has beautiful walking and cycling routes. The Bentwoud forest provides plenty of outdoor space for children to play.
The nearest supermarkets are Hoogvliet and Aldi, both about 900 metres away, and Jumbo is about a kilometre away. A GP is 1 km away, and a restaurant is 700 metres away. The library is 1 km away, and the Bentwoud park is just 200 metres from the door. For secondary education, the nearest school is 3.2 km away.
The nearest train station is 5.2 km from the apartment. That is about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute cycle.
Residents give mixed feedback. Some appreciate the quiet and safety, but others note that neighbours in the apartment complex keep to themselves and there is little social interaction. One resident mentioned organising events with low turnout. So if community spirit is important to you, it may be worth considering.
Yes, the apartment was built in 2024, so it is brand new. That means you benefit from modern construction standards, a top energy label, and no immediate maintenance concerns. The neighbourhood has a mix of older homes (72% built between 1990 and 2010) and newer developments (28% after 2010).
