Oosterheem-Noord-Oost, Zoetermeer
NeighbourhoodThis is a home that feels like it was built with today in mind. With an A++ energy label, it's exceptionally efficient, so you can keep the heating on without the guilt. The 137 m² of living space is spread over a layout that works for a family, and the 166 m² plot gives you a bit of outdoor breathing room. Compared to other terraced houses in Zoetermeer, the asking price of €715,000 is on the high side, but the energy performance and modern build year (2005) help explain why.
This is a neighbourhood where the Bentwoud forest is literally on your doorstep, residents rave about it. One says: "We live in a beautiful apartment on the Bentwoud and enjoy it every day in every season! The Bentwoud in particular is excellently maintained!!!" Another adds: "We live on the Bentwoud, and you can see, smell and feel it! I always have the feeling that we live in a healthy environment!" The only downside mentioned is a lack of community spirit in some apartment complexes, but the area itself is safe and well-kept. Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood scores a solid 7.94. Most homes here were built between 1990 and 2010, and it's a family-oriented area with many households with children. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Oosterheem-Noord-Oost.
For your morning bread run, Hoogvliet and Aldi are just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including De Oostwijzer, Montessorischool De Trinoom, and Prins Florisschool. The Bentwoud park is on your doorstep, perfect for an evening stroll or a weekend bike ride. The municipality Zoetermeer has a lot to offer, though the train station is a ten-minute drive away.

We live in a beautiful apartment on the Bentwoud and enjoy it every day in every season! The Bentwoud in particular is excellently maintained!!! The synergy and looking out for each other in the apartment complex disappoints us! That could be better! Otherwise, we live here just fine, and we also feel safe here!
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on the Bentwoud, and you can see, smell and feel it! I always have the feeling that we live in a healthy environment! We also feel safe in the beautiful apartment building. The only thing that disappoints us is the sense of community in our complex Panoramique Bentwoud. Neighbours hardly know each other and have little interest in others. We often organise something but there is little to no interest, a shame especially because there are many elderly people living there who could use some help and/or attention!
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is easily accessible. Schools, shops, doctors. Beautiful walking/cycling routes. Quite a quiet residential area.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood, close to everything
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a really nice neighbourhood but it could be better, there's a small playground for the children and everyone lives in a terraced house which is handy because you can just walk over to reach everyone, of course very handy but some changes could be made, it's not a very hygienic environment. I've often cleaned up the area but the next day it's messy again. And the safety in this neighbourhood is just about sufficient, this is because there are often loitering youths at the playground during the day and in the evening, most children are afraid of them, I hope something can be done about this. With this I hope to win the €100 gift voucher. Greetings from the whole neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 14 years and I'm happy to live here!
