The Kleverpark-noord neighbourhood
Kleverpark-noord is a neighbourhood in transition, and the two residents who reviewed it capture that well. One resident, who has lived here for over 30 years, says: "Through urban renewal we moved from a working-class neighbourhood where we lived very cosily to the Kleverpark. A neighbourhood for the better class. We've now lived here for over 30 years and see the area changing into a real yuppie neighbourhood. Complete with cargo bikes and conversations that contain more English words than Dutch." Another resident, in their first home away from their parents, says: "I think the neighbourhood is fine. I think it's positive that you can separate waste nearby, there are supermarkets close by and you're a 15-minute walk from the station." Based on two reviews, the picture is of a place that is becoming more affluent while keeping its everyday comforts. The area is home to many families, with a mix of ages across the streets.

Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. The Dekamarkt is just around the corner for bread and groceries, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For schools, Openbare Basisschool Ter Cleeff is a couple of streets away, while Spaarne College is also within a short walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, which makes getting out of Haarlem straightforward. The streets are narrow, as one resident noted, so parking can be tight.
