Roelofarendsveen, Kaag en Braassem
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Noordeinde sits in a part of Roelofarendsveen that feels a bit overlooked. The asking price of €445,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €626,667, which makes it a keen option compared to other homes for sale in the area. For context, there are currently six homes on the market in the neighbourhood, and the average price per square metre is €5,068. Semi-detached houses in Kaag en Braassem are scarce here, so this one stands out.
Roelofarendsveen has about 5,100 residents, with a mix of families and singles. The neighbourhood has a moderate urban feel (density 1,089 addresses per km²). One resident describes it as "Terrible", saying: "Most people end up here because they can't find housing in Leiden, Alphen and surrounding areas. But you wouldn't wish this on anyone, no facilities, childcare is full so children go to school in neighbouring municipalities because there is childcare there." The review also mentions nuisance from young people and parking issues. This is based on a single review, so it's one perspective. Roelofarendsveen is a place where opinions clearly vary.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within walking distance: RKBS De Kiem is on your doorstep, and Rooms Katholiek Basisschool de Roelevaer is a ten-minute walk away. A restaurant is just around the corner, and a GP is a five-minute walk away. The nearest train station is 9.4 km away, so a car or bike is essential for longer journeys. Municipality Kaag en Braassem covers the wider area.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Rietbroek Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Most people end up here because they can't find housing in Leiden, Alphen and surrounding areas. But you wouldn't wish this on anyone, no facilities, childcare is full so children go to school in neighbouring municipalities because there is childcare there. You can walk the dog on a strip of verge, nowhere a nice field to be seen let alone a place where they can burn off their energy. Young people have nothing so they regularly vandalise things, every weekend there are fireworks or other nuisance. People are mainly 'bothered' by each other but that's because they are deeply unhappy. The national parking standard is applied in the new housing estates so tough luck if you don't have a space and you'll quickly get a parking ticket. Tyres are slashed, cars scratched and a lot of nuisance from children/young people. Stay away if you can!
