A third notes: "There are many trees and nature here, which makes it very quiet. Only it is often dirty and dull-coloured buildings that made the neighbourhood a bit boring."

For more context, see the neighbourhood Meerzicht-West.
Your morning bread run is a 65-metre walk to Albert Heijn, literally on your doorstep. Jumbo is just as close, also. For school runs, the Vuurvogel vrijeschool voor basisonderwijs is a couple of streets away, and Katholieke basisschool De Regenboog is a five-minute walk. The park or public garden is just around the corner, so green space is never far. The municipality Zoetermeer keeps the city well connected, though the train station is a ten-minute drive away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van Herk Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

We live in a nice neighbourhood, sometimes there's a bit of trouble but where isn't there. Lovely house, nice neighbours and everything is easily accessible. In our flat we help each other when needed and there's also social control. We're having a great time here.
