NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Noordeinde sits in a quiet part of Roelofarendsveen, with a large garden and plenty of space. At €750,000, the asking price is 20% above the neighbourhood average of €626,667, but the 190 m² floor area is 51% larger than the typical home here, so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market.

Roelofarendsveen is a village with around 5,100 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied and a mix of families and couples live. One resident describes it as 'Terrible', saying: '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.' The review is based on a single opinion, so it's worth keeping in mind that experiences vary. The municipality Kaag en Braassem covers a wider area with more amenities.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner and PLUS is a couple of streets away, so picking up groceries is easy. There are two primary schools within walking distance: RKBS De Kiem (about a five-minute walk) and Rooms Katholiek Basisschool de Roelevaer (a ten-minute walk). A GP practice is also a couple of streets away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Meer Advies, Van der Meer Adviesgroep, and on platforms such as Funda and Pararius.

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!
