They also mention nuisance from young people and parking issues. This is just one review, so take it as a personal perspective. The neighbourhood Roelofarendsveen has its challenges, but also many newer homes.
For your groceries, you have a PLUS just around the corner and a Vomar a couple of streets away.

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 Toermalijn 15, Roelofarendsveen
The asking price of €800,000 is 28% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€626,667). However, this home is also 27% larger than the average (160 m² vs 126 m²) and has a modern build year (2022) with an A+++ energy label. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €663,090, so the price is on the high side but reflects the home's size and quality.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. You can expect excellent insulation and likely features like a heat pump and solar panels.
The plot is 219 m², which is generous for a corner house. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests there is outdoor space. You could potentially create a garden, patio, or even a small extension, subject to planning permission.
Based on one resident review, the neighbourhood has some issues with facilities and nuisance from young people. However, the area has many families (800 households with children) and a mix of ages. The review is quite negative, but it's just one perspective. The neighbourhood has a moderate urban density and a relatively high proportion of owner-occupied homes (71%).
The nearest train station is 9.4 km away, so you would need a car or bus to reach it. This makes the home less suitable for daily commuting by train, but it's fine if you drive or work locally.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as RKBS De Roelevaer (703 m) and RKBS De Kiem (714 m). Secondary education is further away (10.3 km), so older children would need to travel to neighbouring towns.
You have a PLUS supermarket just 536 m away and a Vomar at 554 m, both within a five-minute walk. A Dirk is 1.4 km away, and there are a few other options within 5 km.
