Romolenpolder-oost, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis modern apartment on Amerikaweg in Haarlem is part of a 2023 development, so everything is fresh and energy-efficient with an A+++ label. At €1,532 per month, the rent is 18% below the neighbourhood average of €1,863, though the 69 m² floor area is 25% smaller than the typical 92 m² in the area. That makes it a keen option for those who prioritise low running costs and modern comfort over sheer square metres. For context, it's one of the apartments in Haarlem currently available.
The neighbourhood is Romolenpolder-oost, a densely built area with a very strong urban character (over 4,000 addresses per km²). It's a young area: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. One resident describes it as "a nice neighbourhood" but notes safety concerns: "I don't think the neighbourhood is very safe because there have been a few burglaries, and it's not very hygienic either because sometimes a plastic bag blows by and there are a lot of cigarette butts on the ground, but otherwise it is hygienic, there is a lot of greenery which is very nice and it is well maintained." Accessibility is good, though a recent road closure has been an issue. The neighbourhood Romolenpolder-oost has a mix of housing, with only 30% single-family homes and 28% owner-occupied.
For daily errands, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, a Dekamarkt a couple of streets away, and a Lidl also nearby. Schools are within walking distance: IKC Valeo is a five-minute walk, and OBS de Globe is about ten minutes away. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, and there are restaurants within a couple of streets away. The municipality Haarlem offers all the amenities you'd expect from a city, with a train station about 3.6 km away.

I don't think the neighbourhood is very safe because there have been a few burglaries, and it's not very hygienic either because sometimes a plastic bag blows by and there are a lot of cigarette butts on the ground, but otherwise it is hygienic, there is a lot of greenery which is very nice and it is well maintained. Accessibility is also fine, although recently a road was closed for a year.
