Dorp, Zoetermeer
NeighbourhoodDe Ruyterstraat sits in the heart of Zoetermeer's Dorp neighbourhood, where the streets have a settled, lived-in feel. This 1956 terraced house covers 68 m² on a 138 m² plot and has an energy label B, so it's reasonably efficient. With a price of €400,000, it's a touch above the neighbourhood median of €337,500 but below the average of €429,450, a fair price for a home that's ready to move into. For context, terraced houses in Zoetermeer vary widely, but this one sits in the middle of the market.
Dorp is the historic core of Zoetermeer, and it shows. One resident calls it a "super cosy neighbourhood with the shops and restaurants", and with a restaurant just around the corner, that rings true. The area is densely built (over 2,900 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet it has a village-like charm. Around half the homes are single-family, and two-thirds are owner-occupied. The population is mixed: lots of 25-45 year olds, but also a good number of families and older residents. It's a place where you know your neighbours. Read more about the neighbourhood Dorp.
Your daily routine here is easy. For bread and basics, Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, and Hoogvliet is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, like Basisschool De Vijverburgh and Katholieke basisschool De Paulusschool, both about 578 m away. For secondary education, Praktijkcollege Zoetermeer is a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre of Zoetermeer is close by. The municipality Zoetermeer offers a good balance of urban amenities and green spaces.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Schieland Borsboom NVM Makelaars. It's a standard sale, so you can expect the usual process.
