Why is Schansenbuurt-Zuid at the top?
Schansenbuurt-Zuid scores a 8.9 on this list, with an average property value of € 536,000. That is the highest of every neighbourhood in Zoetermeer that has a grade for this measure.

The figures come from the CBS neighbourhood statistics for 2025. Both are published once a year; the list is recalculated as soon as a new edition appears.
