Mecklenburgstraat 35
Driemanspolder, Zoetermeer
AreaA corner house with space to breathe
This corner house on Mecklenburgstraat sits in Driemanspolder, a neighbourhood in Zoetermeer that feels more like its own small town than a suburb. With 231 m² of living space and a 321 m² plot, it is a generous home by any standard. The asking price of €699,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €399,987, but that reflects the size: the floor area is 118% larger than the typical home in the area. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Zoetermeer vary widely, and this one is at the upper end.
Driemanspolder: industrial feel, practical living
Driemanspolder is a densely built area with a mix of housing, though only 18% are single-family homes. The neighbourhood has 6,460 residents, many living alone (1,605 one-person households) and a fair share of families with children (925). One resident describes it as "Industrial" and says: "Felt like an industrial area rather than a neighbourhood." That is the only review, so it is a single perspective. The neighbourhood Driemanspolder is very urban, with an address density of 3,460 per km², so it is not a quiet green suburb.
Daily life on the street
For groceries, Hoogvliet is on your doorstep, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. Schools are close: Oranje Nassau College Clauslaan (secondary) is just around the corner, and IKC Stella Nova (primary) is. The municipality Zoetermeer has a wide range of amenities, and the neighbourhood itself has a park or public garden within a five-minute walk.

Frequently asked questions
About Mecklenburgstraat 35, Zoetermeer
Is €699,000 a fair price for this home?
The asking price is 75% above the neighbourhood average of €399,987, but this home is also 118% larger than the average (231 m² vs 106 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €3,026, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,807 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money compared to other homes in Driemanspolder.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label C. That is a middling score: it is not as efficient as A or B labels, but it is better than D or lower. In the neighbourhood, 24.3% of homes have label C, while 43.2% have D or lower. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not the lowest possible.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
Driemanspolder has 925 households with children out of 3,405 total households, so about 27% are families. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including IKC Stella Nova (121 m) and Koningin Wilhelminaschool (147 m). The secondary school Oranje Nassau College is just 101 m away. The area is very urban, so gardens are not guaranteed, but this home has a 321 m² plot.
What public transport is nearby?
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That is a reasonable distance for commuting, though not on your doorstep.
How does the crime rate compare?
In the most recent data, Driemanspolder recorded 374 total crimes. That is a number to consider, but without a per-capita comparison or trend data, it is hard to say whether that is high or low for a neighbourhood of 6,460 residents. You may want to check local crime maps for more detail.
What is the garden like?
The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, but the plot size is 321 m². The neighbourhood has a park or public garden 300 m away.
