Romolenpolder-oost, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis newly built apartment on Amerikaweg sits in the Romolenpolder-oost area of Haarlem, a part of the Boerhaavewijk district. The home is bright and contemporary, with a floor area of 89 m² and an A+++ energy label, which means it is very energy efficient. At €1,781 per month, the rent is in line with the average for apartments in Haarlem, which sits at €1,785.
The Romolenpolder-oost neighbourhood is a compact area with a mix of residents, many of them young adults. One resident describes it as "a nice neighbourhood," though they note some 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." The review is based on a single resident's experience, so it gives a personal view rather than a broad consensus.
For daily errands, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Dekamarkt and Lidl a couple of streets away. For schools, IKC Valeo is a five-minute walk, and OBS de Globe is about ten minutes on foot. The area is well connected, with a train station 3.6 km away and a park just a short stroll from the front door. The municipality of Haarlem offers a range of amenities within easy reach.

About Amerikaweg 186, Haarlem
The rent of €1,781 is very close to the average rent in the neighbourhood, which is €1,785 per month. The median rent is slightly higher at €1,952, so this apartment sits below that. Given the 89 m² floor area and the A+++ energy label, the price appears in line with what other rentals in Romolenpolder-oost are asking.
The energy label is A+++, which is the most efficient label a home can have. This means the apartment is very energy efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy performance as assessed.
The nearest train station is 3.6 km from the apartment. That is a distance you would likely cover by bike or car, as it is not within easy walking distance. The neighbourhood is well connected by road, and the station provides links to the wider region.
There are several supermarkets close by. The Albert Heijn is just 163 metres away, so it is on your doorstep. Dekamarkt and Lidl are both within 250 metres, making daily shopping very convenient. A Vomar is also available at 574 metres, giving you plenty of choice for groceries.
There are several schools within easy reach. IKC Valeo, a primary school, is 355 metres away, and OBS de Globe is 512 metres. For secondary education, the nearest is 0.5 km away. The area has a good selection of schools, which is useful for families with children.
One resident gave the neighbourhood a score of 7.75 out of 10, describing it as "a nice neighbourhood." They mentioned some concerns about safety due to a few burglaries and noted some litter, but also praised the greenery and maintenance. This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's perspective rather than a general consensus.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt has been a place where I feel safe and at home all my life. I find the people very sociable and there is always something to do.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is very good, but the only problem is accessibility. There is only bus 3 every half hour.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery noisy. Unhelpful and unfriendly. I don't feel safe walking my dog in the dark. Many noisy young people in cars and on motorbikes. Often very dirty with lots of rubbish on the street. More enforcement. Clean the area more often. Encourage residents to be more community-minded. Organise social events in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, there could be fewer loitering youths and fewer apartment blocks, but they are working on that. Furthermore, lovely people and neighbours and you have everything you need and the motorway is a minute from your home.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nice and helpful, kind neighbours who look after each other. However, it is densely populated with apartments and there is often rubbish on the street. The loitering youths are not too bad and are somewhat present at the nearby Lidl, but fortunately that is a bit further away. We have the Rooie Pad behind us as green space, but there could certainly be more.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
