Roelofarendsveen, Kaag en Braassem
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Zuideinde sits in a quiet part of Roelofarendsveen, with a large garden and a sunny aspect.

The neighbourhood has a mixed reputation. One resident describes it as "Terrible", citing a lack of facilities, full childcare, and nuisance from young people. They say: "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." The review is based on a single response, so it's a narrow view. CBS data shows a fairly balanced population, with many families and a mix of ages. The neighbourhood Roelofarendsveen has a moderate urban density, with most homes being owner-occupied.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just over a ten-minute walk away, and PLUS is a couple of streets further. The nearest primary school, RKBS De Kiem, is a five-minute walk, while other schools are a bit further. A restaurant is just around the corner, and a GP is a couple of streets away. The train station is 9.4 km away, so you'd rely on a car or bus for longer journeys. The municipality Kaag en Braassem offers a mix of rural and suburban living.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Goedhart Makelaars en Taxateurs V.O.F. and other platforms.

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!
