A rental apartment in the heart of Zoetermeer
This two-bedroom apartment on Engelandlaan in Zoetermeer's Stadscentrum sits right in the middle of the action. This listing did not state a year of construction or an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,688 per month, the rent sat 24% above the neighbourhood average of €1,360, which put it on the high side for the area. For context, apartments in Zoetermeer typically rent for less. This home has not been online since 30 September 2026.
The Stadscentrum neighbourhood
Stadscentrum is a dense, urban pocket of Zoetermeer with a strong mix of ages, from students to retirees. The one resident review, titled "Could be better," gives it 6.86 out of 10: "It's quite nice to live here, but the aggressive vagrants and smoking youths who rummage through bins are not for me. Otherwise, everything is easily accessible by car, bike, on foot, or with the RandstadRail." Based on that single review, the feedback is mixed but acknowledges the convenience. The area is mostly flats, with many single-person households and a notable share of residents over 65. The Stadscentrum neighbourhood is one of the more compact parts of town.
Life on the street
Daily errands are straightforward from here. For groceries, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, with AH XL a couple of streets away and Aldi a five-minute walk. For school runs, Prinses Margrietschool and Koningin Wilhelminaschool are both within a ten-minute walk, while MOTION Beweeg College for secondary education is a similar distance. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the library is a short stroll. The municipality of Zoetermeer keeps the wider area well connected, with the train station about 2.5 km away.
