So far, a lot of packages are being stolen from the porch, and bikes and motorbikes from the garage. They are working on it, so that's good, but coincidentally when the Poles come to paint, something gets stolen again, keep that in mind.

About Rhijnvreugd 7, Zoeterwoude
The asking price is 64% above the neighbourhood average of €602,000, but this home is also 78% larger than the typical Meerburg home (183 m² vs 103 m²). It is the most expensive of the four homes currently for sale in the buurt. The price per square metre is in line with other detached homes in Zoeterwoude, so the premium reflects the size and property type rather than an overvaluation.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In Meerburg, 88.9% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this home will have higher heating costs. The house was built in 1955, so it likely needs insulation upgrades. You should budget for improvements to bring the label up.
Meerburg has a mix of families and couples, with 180 households with children and 125 without. The average household size is 2.4. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area feels quiet and safe. The only resident review mentions package theft as a minor issue, but overall it scores 7.63 out of 10.
Lidl is 583 m away (just around the corner), SPAR is 835 m (a couple of streets away), and Albert Heijn is 1.4 km (a ten-minute walk). For a wider selection, there are 36 supermarkets within 5 km.
