The neighbourhood Palenstein is densely built (over 3,000 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet a park or public garden is just a couple of streets away. Most homes here were built between 1970 and 1990, and nearly a third are owner-occupied.
For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, with Dirk and Hoogvliet a five-minute walk further. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: IKC De Achtsprong and IKC De Kasteeltuyn. Secondary schools are a ten-minute walk away, with Erasmus College and Praktijkcollege Zoetermeer both within easy reach. The municipality Zoetermeer has plenty of restaurants and a library, all within walking distance. The train station is 2.2 km away, so a short cycle or bus ride.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Lammers NVM Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.
