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 Groenewoudskade 15, Roelofarendsveen
The asking price is 19% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€626,667) and also above the median (€587,500). Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €663,090, so this home is priced on the high side. The large plot of 1030 m² may justify some of the premium, but it's a significant step up from the local market.
The home has energy label E, which is less efficient than most homes for sale in the neighbourhood. In the area, 42.9% of listings have label A+ and 28.6% have label A, while none are rated D or lower. Label E means higher energy costs can be expected, especially for heating.
The plot measures 1030 m², which is unusually large for a home of 111 m². This gives plenty of outdoor space for a garden, possibly a shed or extension, subject to planning permission. The exact layout and possibilities are not detailed in the listing.
Based on one review, the neighbourhood is described as having few facilities, youth nuisance, and parking issues. The resident advises against moving there. However, this is a single opinion, and CBS data shows a mix of families and older residents. It's worth visiting to form your own impression.
The nearest train station is 9.4 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The area is more car-dependent for longer journeys.
Yes, there are primary schools within walking distance: SWS De Wereldweide is about 1.1 km away, and RKBS De Kiem is about 1.7 km. Secondary schools are further, at 10.3 km, so children would need transport for secondary education.
