Dorp, Zoetermeer
NeighbourhoodThis is a rare find in Zoetermeer: a spacious detached house from 1924, right in the heart of the Dorp neighbourhood. With 203 m² of living space and a 511 m² plot, it's a property that stands out. The price of €1,095,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that's because it's the most expensive of the 20 homes currently for sale in Dorp, and it's also 131% larger than the average home in the area. For context, detached houses in Zoetermeer are a niche market.
Dorp is the historic centre of Zoetermeer, and it lives up to its name. One resident calls it a 'super cosy neighbourhood with the shops and restaurants'. The area is densely built (over 2,900 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet it has a village feel. The population is diverse: a mix of singles, families, and older residents. The neighbourhood Dorp is known for its lively streets and convenient location.
Your daily routine here is easy. For groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away. There are several schools within walking distance: Basisschool De Vijverburgh and the Katholieke basisschool De Paulusschool are both a five-minute walk, and the Praktijkcollege Zoetermeer is even closer. The municipality Zoetermeer has invested in making the centre pedestrian-friendly, so you can do most errands on foot.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Elferink NVM Makelaardij.
