Most people end up here because they can't find housing in Leiden, Alphen and surrounding areas. But you wouldn't wish this on anyone, no facilities, childcare is full so children go to school in neighbouring municipalities because there is childcare there. You can walk the dog on a strip of verge, nowhere a nice field to be seen let alone a place where they can burn off their energy. Young people have nothing so they regularly vandalise things, every weekend there are fireworks or other nuisance. People are mainly 'bothered' by each other but that's because they are deeply unhappy. The national parking standard is applied in the new housing estates so tough luck if you don't have a space and you'll quickly get a parking ticket. Tyres are slashed, cars scratched and a lot of nuisance from children/young people. Stay away if you can!

About Middenoever 48, Roelofarendsveen
The asking price of €695,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €626,667 and the median of €587,500. However, this apartment is larger (104 m²) and newer (2015) than many homes in the area, with an A energy label. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood averaged €663,090, so the price is on the high side but reflects the modern finish and efficiency.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have an A+ label and 28.6% have an A label, so this home is among the most efficient.
The nearest train station is 9.4 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car, bike or bus to reach it. The village is more oriented towards local amenities and road connections.
