A new-build apartment in Zoeterwoude
This apartment on Stadhouderslaan sits in the young Meerburg neighbourhood, a part of Zoeterwoude that has taken shape in recent years. With 80 m² of floor space and an A+++ energy label, it is built to modern standards, so running costs should stay low. The rent of €1,643 is a bit above the average of €1,508 for rentals in the area, but the home is new and efficient, which explains the premium. For context, it is one of the [apartments in Zoeterwoude]( /huurwoningen/zoeterwoude/appartementen/) currently on the market.
The Meerburg neighbourhood
Meerburg is a relatively new residential area, and the figures reflect that: a large share of residents are between 25 and 45, and many households have children. The average household size is 2.1, and about 40% of households are single-person, so the mix is varied. One resident who reviewed the area gave it a 7.63 and said: "Nice location." They also noted that packages have been stolen from the porch and bikes from the garage, though they added that "they are working on it." It is a single review, so it gives a glimpse rather than a full picture. For more on the area, see [the Meerburg neighbourhood]( /buurt/meerburg-zoeterwoude/).
Life on the street
Daily errands are straightforward from here. The nearest supermarket is a SPAR, about a ten-minute walk away, with a Lidl and a PLUS a bit further. For school runs, De Bernardusschool is the closest primary school, roughly a five-minute walk, and there are several other primary options within a short distance, including the International School Leiden. The area is well served for families, with a child daycare about 700 metres away. The wider surroundings fall under [the municipality of Zoeterwoude]( /gemeente/zoeterwoude/), which covers both the village and the more rural parts.

Frequently asked questions
About Stadhouderslaan 305, Zoeterwoude
Is the rent of €1,643 reasonable for this apartment?
The rent is above the average of €1,508 for rentals in Meerburg, and also above the median of €1,615. However, this is a new-build apartment with an A+++ energy label, which typically commands a premium. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €17.82, and at 80 m² this home works out to about €20.54 per m², so it is on the higher side but in line with what new construction tends to ask.
What does the A+++ energy label mean for this home?
An A+++ label is the most efficient rating available, so the home is designed to use very little energy for heating and hot water. This should keep monthly energy costs low compared to older properties. The label is an official registration, and for a building from 2024 it reflects modern construction standards. You can expect efficient performance, though actual costs depend on your usage.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The closest supermarket is a SPAR at about 1 kilometre, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. A Lidl is at 1.3 kilometres and a PLUS at 1.4 kilometres, so there are several options within a short distance.

The nearest primary school is De Bernardusschool, about 600 metres away, which is a short walk. The International School Leiden is at 950 metres, and Basisschool St. Joseph at 956 metres.
