The WOZ value is set annually by the municipality with 1 January as its reference date, and therefore lags the market by about a year. It is an estimated market value, not a sale price.
I live here with great pleasure. It is a quiet, green and pleasant neighbourhood where you can enjoy walking and nature. Everything you need is nearby (such as shops, public transport and other amenities). The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere. I feel safe here and can definitely recommend this neighbourhood.
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.
We have shops, a tram and other businesses in the neighbourhood, such as a gym to provide for us. 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.
Meerzicht used to be a beautiful green neighbourhood, with many lovely tall trees and shrubs, rich in birds, bird concerts at various times from early morning to late evening. Benches in the park and other spots every few hundred metres where you could safely enjoy and meet others. Now too many tall trees have been cut down, often for completely unclear reasons, a park with only a few trees, almost all shrubs cut to the ground, hardly any benches left. It has become quiet. Birds are no longer allowed to be fed, they have nowhere to nest, benches are gone. Vandalism, unsafety, pollution, litter, decay and loneliness are visibly increasing. People no longer want to know each other. This is not only due to the increased multicultural society, although it does contribute to it. Children learn little in that regard, compared to the stricter upbringing in the past at home, at school and being addressed on the street. There are so many studies on how important trees and well-maintained greenery are for the social climate and behaviour in a neighbourhood. Trees provide oxygen, air purification, shade and coolness in the heat and shelter, noise reduction, besides all the animals, insects, birds that live in them. People behave better in a well-maintained green neighbourhood. That is why this large-scale removal of all greenery is incomprehensible and almost criminal. There is far too little replacement planting. We cannot enjoy what might have a chance in fifty years to survive the blunt axes. And there are no benches to rest for a moment and for social contacts. We are stuck with green poverty now, vanished birds, loneliness.
The neighbourhood is really deteriorating. Unsafe feeling. Go outside as little as possible in the dark. There are quite a few polluters who couldn't care less. Litter, cigarette butts, vandalism, drugs, damaged cars, burglaries, occasional loud noise, fireworks all year round. Parking nuisance and traffic jams on Fridays. People don't dare to address each other. A number of volunteers try to make improvements by picking up rubbish and such, nice neighbourhood initiatives for their own flat or street, neighbourhood management tries to help improve, municipal subsidy for that. In combination with sustainability actions we are waiting for. All ages. So facilities for the elderly are also needed, I've been calling for more benches, a community garden, low-threshold meeting spaces for all target groups for years. All of that used to be there and that's how there was more community in the literal sense. Since Palenstein moved in this direction, deterioration has accelerated rapidly. We have a RandstadRail stop, but there is no longer a neighbourhood bus, much too far to walk if you live further away. The flats and shopping centre are old and urgently need a thorough renovation. A lot of deferred maintenance. There is also an urgent need for housing here. Although some are occupied by people who have them for free and are themselves long-term in their home country. There are many primary schools in this district. I don't have children myself, so I can't judge the quality. Far too many trees have been cut down, bushes removed, birds can hardly find perches anymore, so there are few. We can hardly attract them by feeding because of severe mice and rat infestation. The park is far too bare. Due to a water project, many old large trees have disappeared and little replanting. And many more tree removals are on the list. Maintenance and care of existing greenery is apparently too expensive. There are tree doctors who could possibly help the old trees too. Much more greenery should be added, also on the flats, galleries, etc. For appearance, birds, insects, bees and butterflies especially. It also makes people happier and more involved and reduces vandalism. That's psychologically proven. Monthly bulky waste collection should return. Possibly a different day per district or group of streets. That would save a lot of illegal dumping. And who knows, promote recycling. Due to vandalism, we cannot place a mini library or give-away boxes, not even a notice board with offers, even though there is a need for that. In the past, there were many spaces that could be rented cheaply by associations and small entrepreneurs. Around the shopping centre. The range of shops was also much more complete with a Blokker, DIY store, shoe shop, heel bar, Jamin, Readshop, etc. Now everything is gone and unaffordable. Many people try to move to better neighbourhoods. There is loneliness. Someone lay dead in their house for four months and that's not the first time. Days, weeks have also occurred. The environment is not really inspiring, little involvement due to the deterioration and few free or cheap options.
It's a nice neighbourhood to live in. Nice and quiet.
It's a fairly quiet neighbourhood with a primary school in the middle. There is a shopping centre a 5-minute walk from the neighbourhood and the city centre is also reasonably close.

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!
We 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!

Everything is 3 minute walk from my house, whether its nearby tram stop, grocery store, utility store, or hair salon. There is physiotherapy centre as well. Nearby albertheijn or lid or kruidvat is barely 10 minutes walk. So my place is really accessible and has all the amenities.
The neighborhood is really quiet, sometimes too quiet in my opinion.
