Romolenpolder-oost, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis modern apartment on Europaweg feels fresh and efficient, with an A++ energy label keeping running costs low. At 60 m² it's compact but well laid out, and the price of €385,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €675,300, partly because it's smaller than the typical home here. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely, but this one is priced to move.
Romolenpolder-oost is a young, urban pocket of Haarlem with a high address density. Most homes were built after 2010, and the area feels green and well maintained. One resident says: "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." That's based on a single review, so take it as one perspective. The area is popular with young professionals and couples, with many single-person households. For more, see the Romolenpolder-oost neighbourhood.
Your daily shopping is just around the corner: Albert Heijn, Lidl and Vomar are all within a five-minute walk. For school runs, OBS de Piramide is a couple of streets away, and IKC Valeo is also close by. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is a five-minute walk.
