Living in Oosterheem-Noord-Oost, Zoetermeer
Oosterheem-Noord-Oost is one of the newer neighbourhoods of Zoetermeer, largely built from the late 1990s and early 2000s. You can see this in the architecture: sleek facades, lots of light brick, spacious layouts and wide pavements. The neighbourhood has over 16,270 residents and a young-adult profile, with the largest group between 45 and 65 years old. Yet many families also live here: nearly 3,000 households with children. It is not a neighbourhood where there is much bustle on the streets in the evening, but during the day it is lively enough around the schools and playgrounds.
What immediately stands out when you walk around here is the greenery. The Bentwoud literally lies on the edge of the neighbourhood and is appreciated by residents. One resident writes: "We live in a beautiful apartment on the Bentwoud and enjoy it every day in every season! The Bentwoud in particular is excellently maintained." This proximity to nature gives the neighbourhood a quiet, almost village-like appearance, even though you are living in a city of 125,000 inhabitants. Residents therefore give the Green category an 8.0.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores well. Resident Saskia Horjus sums it up: "Everything is easily accessible. Schools, shops, doctors. Beautiful walking and cycling routes. Quite a quiet residential area." In the immediate vicinity you will find primary schools, a GP practice and daily shopping facilities. For a larger shopping centre you go to Stadshart Zoetermeer, a few minutes' drive away. The sub-score for Education is 8.5, the highest of all categories, which fits the family-friendly character.
Accessibility is a strong point. RandstadRail stop Oosterheem connects you directly to Den Haag Centraal in about 25 minutes. The A12 and N470 are nearby, allowing you to quickly drive towards Rotterdam, Leiden or Delft. By bike you are in the centre of Zoetermeer in ten minutes. Residents rate accessibility at 8.2. More information about the municipality can be found on the Zoetermeer website.
To be fair: there are also drawbacks. Several residents of the Panoramique apartment complex on the Bentwoud mention limited community spirit. "Neighbours hardly know each other," writes Marianne de Zeeuw. The sub-score for Community is therefore the lowest at 7.2. In the terraced house streets, contact seems slightly better, but it is not a neighbourhood where you automatically drop in on the neighbours. Those looking for that will have to make an effort themselves. On the neighbourhood page for Oosterheem-Noord-Oost you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. Also compare with Oosterheem-Zuid-West, which has a similar profile but sometimes offers different price ranges. Or view the supply in the entire Oosterheem district for a broader picture.

We live in a beautiful apartment on the Bentwoud and enjoy it every day in every season! The Bentwoud in particular is excellently maintained!!! The synergy and looking out for each other in the apartment complex disappoints us! That could be better! Otherwise, we live here just fine, and we also feel safe here!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on the Bentwoud, and you can see, smell and feel it! I always have the feeling that we live in a healthy environment! We also feel safe in the beautiful apartment building. The only thing that disappoints us is the sense of community in our complex Panoramique Bentwoud. Neighbours hardly know each other and have little interest in others. We often organise something but there is little to no interest, a shame especially because there are many elderly people living there who could use some help and/or attention!
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. Schools, shops, doctors. Beautiful walking/cycling routes. Quite a quiet residential area.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood, close to everything
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a really nice neighbourhood but it could be better, there's a small playground for the children and everyone lives in a terraced house which is handy because you can just walk over to reach everyone, of course very handy but some changes could be made, it's not a very hygienic environment. I've often cleaned up the area but the next day it's messy again. And the safety in this neighbourhood is just about sufficient, this is because there are often loitering youths at the playground during the day and in the evening, most children are afraid of them, I hope something can be done about this. With this I hope to win the €100 gift voucher. Greetings from the whole neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 14 years and I'm happy to live here!
