Roelofarendsveen, Kaag en Braassem
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Noordeinde sits in a quiet part of Roelofarendsveen, a village that feels a world away from the bustle of Leiden yet is within easy reach. At 90 m² with an energy label B, it's a practical home for someone who values efficiency and space. The asking price of €385,000 is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €626,667, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Kaag en Braassem.
Roelofarendsveen is a village of about 5,100 residents, with a mix of families and couples. The one review available paints a stark picture: "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." The reviewer also mentions nuisance from young people and parking issues. It's a single, very negative view, so take it as one perspective. The municipality Kaag en Braassem is working on new developments, but for now, the village has a modest range of amenities.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within walking distance: RKBS De Kiem (a five-minute walk) and Rooms Katholiek Basisschool de Roelevaer (a ten-minute walk). A GP practice is also a couple of streets away. The nearest train station is 9.4 km away, so a car or bike is essential for commuting.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Rietbroek Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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 Noordeinde 127B, Roelofarendsveen
The asking price of €385,000 is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €626,667, but the apartment is also 29% smaller than the average home in the area (90 m² vs 126 m²). Given the energy label B and the location, the price seems keen compared to other listings, though the single negative neighbourhood review may be a factor.
The apartment has energy label B, which is efficient. You can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label A+ and 28.6% have label A, so this home is slightly less efficient than the best, but still good.
The nearest train station is 9.4 km away, so you'll need a car or bike to reach it. The station is not named in the listing, but the distance is given.
Vomar is 314 metres away, just around the corner, and PLUS is 507 metres away, a couple of streets away. Dirk is 1.4 km away, a ten-minute walk. For daily groceries, Vomar and PLUS are most convenient.
RKBS De Kiem is 418 metres away (a five-minute walk) and Rooms Katholiek Basisschool de Roelevaer is 1 km away (a ten-minute walk). Both are primary schools. For secondary education, the nearest is 10.3 km away, so a longer commute.
The neighbourhood recorded 95 total crimes, but without a breakdown, it's hard to judge. The single review mentions vandalism and nuisance from young people, but that's one person's experience. The area has a mix of families and is moderately urbanised.
There are currently 6 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with an average price of €626,667 and an average size of 126 m². This apartment is smaller and cheaper than most, so it stands out.
