Meerzicht-West, Zoetermeer
NeighbourhoodThis 1974 terraced house on Scheveningsebos sits in a quiet, leafy part of Meerzicht-West. With 147 m² of living space over three floors, it is noticeably roomier than the neighbourhood average, 27% larger, in fact. The energy label is C, so heating costs are moderate. At €475,000, the asking price is a touch above the local median of €450,000, but the extra square metres and the garden (the plot is 178 m²) make it a fair proposition compared to other terraced houses in Zoetermeer.
Meerzicht-West is a strongly urban area (over 2,600 addresses per km²) yet it feels surprisingly green. One resident calls it a "very green, quiet neighbourhood on the edge of the park." Another says: "We have shops, a tram and other businesses in the neighbourhood, such as a gym to provide for us. There are many trees and nature here, which makes it very quiet." The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, and the average household size is 2.3 people. Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood Meerzicht-West scores an 8.3 out of 10.
For your morning bread, both Albert Heijn and Jumbo are just around the corner. The nearest primary school, Vuurvogel vrijeschool, is a couple of streets away, and Kindcentrum Toverberg is a five-minute walk. The park is on your doorstep, perfect for an evening stroll. The municipality Zoetermeer also has a train station (3.6 km away) and several bus lines, so getting around is straightforward.

We live in a nice neighbourhood, sometimes there's a bit of trouble but where isn't there. Lovely house, nice neighbours and everything is easily accessible. In our flat we help each other when needed and there's also social control. We're having a great time here.
