Living in Seghwaert-Zuid-West, Zoetermeer

Seghwaert-Zuid-West is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south-west side of the Seghwaert district, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The streets are laid out clearly with plenty of greenery in between: grass fields, trees along the roads and playgrounds that you come across regularly. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its special architecture or lively streets, but rather for its tranquillity and facilities that are simply well in order.

Residents particularly appreciate how close everything is. Priyanka Koley, one of the residents, puts it aptly: "Everything is 3 minute walk from my house, whether its nearby tram stop, grocery store, utility store, or hair salon. There is physiotherapy centre as well. Nearby albertheijn or lid or kruidvat is barely 10 minutes walk. So my place is really accessible and has all the amenities." This matches the high score for facilities (8.7 out of 10) and accessibility (8.3). An Albert Heijn, a Lidl and a Kruidvat are within walking distance. For a larger range of shops, the Seghwaert shopping centre or the centre of Zoetermeer is quickly reachable.

In terms of public transport, the neighbourhood is well served. The RandstadRail stop is a few minutes' walk away, taking you to the centre of The Hague in about twenty minutes. This also makes the neighbourhood score well for commuter traffic. By car, the A12 is quickly accessible via the Afrikaweg. Parking is still without a permit in most streets, although it can be a search at busy times.

The neighbourhood has a resident score of 7.5 out of 10, based on three reviews. Green scores an 8.0 and safety even an 8.0, which matches the quiet character. The lower scores for housing (6.3) and beauty (6.3) indicate that the neighbourhood is not always spick and span and that housing quality varies. The same resident who praised the accessibility honestly added that the neighbourhood is "sometimes too quiet". That is something to keep in mind if you are looking for liveliness.

Compared to Seghwaert-Noord-Oost, this part of the district has a similar layout but slightly lower WOZ values. Those looking for more urban dynamics can also look at the Centre of Zoetermeer or Meerzicht.

The spacious ground-floor homes suit families with children; the apartments available are interesting for starters or singles. With an average purchase price of over €420,000, the neighbourhood is not cheap, but the range down to €200,000 shows that more affordable starter homes are also available.
