NeighbourhoodThis 2015-built terraced house on Veenoever sits in a quiet residential area of Roelofarendsveen, a village in the Green Heart. With 105 m² of living space and an energy label A, it's efficient and low-maintenance.

For context, terraced houses in Kaag en Braassem vary widely in price and size.
Roelofarendsveen is a village of about 5,100 residents, with a mix of families and singles. The neighbourhood has a moderate urban density (1,089 addresses per km²). One resident describes it as "Terrible", noting that many people end up here because they can't find housing in Leiden or Alphen. They mention a lack of facilities, full childcare, and nuisance from young people. "Stay away if you can!" they say. This is based on a single review, so it's a personal view. The municipality Kaag en Braassem covers a wider area with more amenities.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner, and PLUS is a couple of streets away. Dirk is a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: RKBS De Kiem and RKBS de Roelevaer are both about a ten-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is 10.3 km away, so older children will need to travel. A GP is a five-minute walk, and a park is a fifteen-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Rietbroek Makelaardij and also on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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!
