Driemanspolder, Zoetermeer
NeighbourhoodThis 1968 terraced house on Willemstraat has a solid, no-nonsense look that fits the street. With 138 m² of floor space, it is noticeably roomier than many homes in the area, the average in Driemanspolder is 106 m². The price of €450,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €340,000, but the extra square metres and the energy label C (better than 43% of local homes with D or lower) help explain it. For context, terraced houses in Zoetermeer vary widely in size and price.
Driemanspolder is a dense, lively neighbourhood with a very high address density (3460 addresses per km²). It has a mix of ages, about a quarter of residents are under 25, and a quarter are 65 or older. One resident describes it as 'Industrial' and says: 'Felt like an industrial area rather than a neighbourhood.' That is the only review, so it is a single perspective.

The asking price of €450,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €340,000 and the average sold price of €357,790. However, this home is 30% larger than the average (138 m² vs 106 m²) and has an energy label C, which is better than 43% of homes in Driemanspolder that have label D or lower. So the price reflects the extra space and relatively good energy performance.
With 138 m² of living space, this terraced house is 30% larger than the neighbourhood average of 106 m². The plot is 149 m². In Driemanspolder, most homes are flats (82%), so a house of this size is uncommon.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1968). In the neighbourhood, 24.3% of homes have label C, while 43.2% have D or lower. So this home is more efficient than many, but not as efficient as newer builds with A or B labels.

How residents experience their district
Super cosy neighbourhood with the shops and restaurants
Auto-translated to English by AIPalenstein in Zoetermeer is a neighbourhood in transformation, where modernisation and greenery take centre stage. The multicultural community creates a lively and diverse atmosphere. With improved homes, green spaces and proximity to amenities, it is an attractive area for families and young professionals. The neighbourhood feels forward-looking, but retains a strong sense of connection among residents.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's quite nice to live here, but the aggressive vagrants and smoking youths who rummage through bins are not for me. Otherwise, everything is easily accessible by car, bike, on foot, or with the RandstadRail.

How residents experience their municipality
I live here with great pleasure. It is a quiet, green and pleasant neighbourhood where you can enjoy walking and nature. Everything you need is nearby (such as shops, public transport and other amenities). The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere. I feel safe here and can definitely recommend this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice and cosy neighbourhood to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe 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 AIWe 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe 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. Only it is often dirty and dull-coloured buildings that made the neighbourhood a bit boring.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighborhood is really quiet, sometimes too quiet in my opinion.
Auto-translated to English by AIToo few amenities
