The new Atlas for Municipalities was released on Thursday, November 20. For this publication, research was conducted into the most attractive places to live in the Netherlands. How does that work out for Zoetermeer?

Your own fireplace is worth its weight in gold… right?! As a Zoetermeer resident, you may be overjoyed with your place of residence, while someone else wouldn’t trade it for anything. Matter of personal preference. The Atlas researchers therefore looked at more than fifty factors such as accessibility, facilities and safety in each city. They examined the fifty largest municipalities.
