Living in Rokkeveen-Oost: quiet, green and family-oriented
Rokkeveen-Oost is a typical Zoetermeer expansion district from the 1980s and 1990s. The neighbourhood is laid out with wide avenues, many green strips and cul-de-sacs. This gives it a quiet, almost village-like atmosphere, despite being in the middle of a city of over 120,000 residents. Residents most appreciate the greenery: the sub-score of 8.0 out of 10 is the highest in the ratings. Westerpark and the green zones around Noordhove are within walking and cycling distance, and the neighbourhood itself has many parks and playgrounds.
The downside? Amenities. Resident Wil sums it up succinctly: "Quiet neighbourhood, but there's nothing to do anywhere in this district." That observation is accurate when you look at the neighbourhood itself. There are a few primary schools, including De Schakel primary school, and a small shopping centre on Promenade, but for a larger supermarket or more varied shopping you need to go to Rokkeveen shopping centre or towards the centre of Zoetermeer. The sub-scores for amenities and education (both 6.0) confirm this picture. For sports, you can go to the sports hall and tennis club on Bremweg, and De Veur swimming pool is a few minutes' cycle away.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 6.5. Rokkeveen tram stop (RandstadRail lines 3 and 4) takes you to Den Haag Centraal in about 25 minutes. The A12 motorway is reachable via the Zoetermeer-Oost exit within five minutes by car. Buses run along Australiëweg towards Zoetermeer station and the centre. Cycling to the city centre takes about ten minutes. It's not bad, but not excellent either: the tram is a bit too far to walk for the southern parts of the neighbourhood.
With 12,715 residents, Rokkeveen-Oost is one of the larger neighbourhoods in Zoetermeer. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (3,710 people), and there are relatively many families with children (2,120 households). Nearly half of residents are married (46%).
