Driemanspolder, Zoetermeer
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Dunantstraat sits in the heart of Driemanspolder, a lively part of Zoetermeer. Built in 1971, it has an energy label E, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €275,000, the asking price is 31% below the neighbourhood average of €399,987, which makes it a keen entry point into the local market, especially compared to other apartments in Zoetermeer.
Driemanspolder is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 6,400 residents. It's a mix of ages, with a notable share of over-65s and young adults. The area feels built-up, the address density is high, and one resident describes it as "industrial rather than a neighbourhood." That said, it's practical: shops, schools and a park are all within a short walk. The neighbourhood Driemanspolder has a strong rental stock, with about half the homes owner-occupied.
Your daily bread comes from Hoogvliet, just around the corner. For a bigger shop, AH XL is a ten-minute walk away. School runs are easy: IKC Stella Nova (primary) is a couple of streets away, and Oranje Nassau College Clauslaan (secondary) is even closer. The park is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just a few minutes' walk. The municipality Zoetermeer keeps the area well connected, with a train station about 1.6 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Schieland Borsboom NVM Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Dunantstraat 1427, Zoetermeer
The asking price is 31% below the average asking price in Driemanspolder (€399,987), and also below the median of €340,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (71 m² vs 106 m²) and has an energy label E. Given that similar homes in the neighbourhood sell for a median of €357,790, the price looks keen, especially for a buyer looking for a compact home in a central location.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Driemanspolder, 43.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. It's worth considering improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce future bills.
