A spacious apartment in the heart of Zoetermeer
This rental apartment on Londenstraat sits in the lively Stadscentrum area of Zoetermeer. With 100 m² of living space, it is noticeably roomier than many other rentals in the neighbourhood. The energy label A means it is efficient to heat. At €1,195 per month, the rent was about 18% below the local average for similar homes, a keen price for the size. For context, the supply of apartments in Zoetermeer varies widely, but this one stands out for its combination of space and value. This home has not been online since 7 July 2026.
The Stadscentrum neighbourhood
The neighbourhood Stadscentrum is a dense urban area with a very high address density, 3,740 addresses per km². It is home to around 4,600 people, mostly single-person households (1,790) and a smaller share of families with children (445). One resident describes it as "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." That sums up the trade-off: convenience versus some street nuisances.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy. For groceries, Aldi is just around the corner, Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away, and AH XL is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Jacobsvlinder and Koningin Wilhelminaschool are both about a five-minute walk, and IKC Stella Nova is a couple of streets further. The municipality Zoetermeer offers a good range of amenities, with a restaurant just around the corner and a park a couple of streets away.
