Rental prices and market figures for Boterdorpse Zoom, Lansingerland
Boterdorpse Zoom is essentially an owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 21% of the 465 homes are in the rental sector, compared to 79% owner-occupied homes. Of those rental properties, 17% are owned by a housing association (social housing), while only 3% fall under other landlords in the private sector. This makes the supply of rental homes in Boterdorpse Zoom limited and relatively exclusive.
The average WOZ value of homes in the neighbourhood is €501,000, which is clearly higher than the district average of Boterdorp (€463,000) and also above the municipal average of Lansingerland (€479,000). This higher price level is also reflected in private sector rents. In the past twelve months, seven homes were rented out in the private sector with an average rent of €2,260 per month, excluding social housing. The range ran from €1,395 to €2,595 per month, with an average floor area of 86 m². That works out to around €26 per m² per month. If you want to know what is currently available and what the current average rent is, check the overview at the top of this page.
For comparison: in the wider district Boterdorp and in surrounding neighbourhoods such as Beemdenbuurt, price levels are slightly lower, partly due to a larger share of housing association homes. Anyone looking for a rental home in Boterdorpse Zoom should expect a tight market and rents that are above the district and municipal averages.
Living in Boterdorpse Zoom, Lansingerland
Boterdorpse Zoom is a relatively young, green-urban neighbourhood on the edge of Bergschenhoek, part of the municipality of Lansingerland. The neighbourhood is characterised by spacious new-build and recent expansion areas with predominantly detached homes, semi-detached homes and terraced houses. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery and the neighbourhood exudes a quiet, suburban atmosphere. It is not a neighbourhood with a village centre or lively shopping area around the corner, but that is not why people come here.
With 1,560 residents and an average income of €48,600 per household, well above the municipal average of €45,500, this is a neighbourhood that attracts families with above-average incomes. The largest age group consists of 25 to 45-year-olds (635 people), and households with children form the largest category (345 households). You can see this in the layout of the neighbourhood: playgrounds, wide pavements and a quiet traffic structure.
Facilities in and around Boterdorpse Zoom
The neighbourhood itself does not have its own shopping centre. For daily groceries, residents rely on the nearby centre of Bergschenhoek, about five to ten minutes by bike. There you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and various smaller shops. Primary schools in the Bergschenhoek area are easily accessible by bike. For secondary education, students rely on schools in Bergschenhoek or Bleiswijk. Sports clubs in the area offer football, tennis and other sports. The location near the Rottemeren and the Groene Hart makes the neighbourhood attractive for cyclists and walkers who enjoy green and open landscapes.
Accessibility of Boterdorpse Zoom
By car, Boterdorpse Zoom is easily accessible via the N471 and the connection to the A12 towards Rotterdam and The Hague. Rotterdam city centre is about a 20 to 25-minute drive, depending on rush hour. Public transport serves the neighbourhood less well: there are bus lines towards Bergschenhoek and further to Rotterdam, but there is no train station of its own. The nearest train stations are Rotterdam Alexander or Gouda, accessible via a transfer or by car. Parking in the neighbourhood is generally not a problem: most homes have their own driveway or garage, and there is no parking permit system in place. For those who cycle daily to the centre of Bergschenhoek, the distance is manageable.
On the neighbourhood page of Boterdorpse Zoom you will find resident reviews, neighbourhood scores per category and all current district data. Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings, but mention the limited public transport connections and the lack of facilities within walking distance as points of attention. One resident writes: "It is wonderfully quiet here and the neighbourhood always looks well-maintained, but without a car you are really not well off here." That is honest and typical of this suburban new-build neighbourhood.
Compared to the nearby Eilandenbuurt, Boterdorpse Zoom is slightly quieter and less compact in layout. Both neighbourhoods focus on families, but Boterdorpse Zoom has a slightly higher price level and a larger share of owner-occupied homes.
Who is a rental home in Boterdorpse Zoom interesting for?
Renting in Boterdorpse Zoom is most attractive for families and dual-income couples who consciously choose peace, space and a green environment, and who use the car as their primary means of transport. First-time buyers with a limited budget or people without a car are less suited to this neighbourhood: the supply is small, private sector rents are on the high side with an average of €2,260 per month, and social housing rarely becomes available. If you still want to qualify for a housing association home, you can register with Woonnet Rijnmond, the regional waiting list for social housing in the region. Waiting lists are long, so start early. Respond quickly to available rental homes in the private sector: supply is limited and homes are usually rented out quickly. Prepare your documents (employer's statement, last three payslips, ID). If renting is too expensive or unfeasible, it is also worth looking at the supply of homes for sale in Boterdorpse Zoom, although WOZ values here are above €500,000.
