Romolenpolder-oost, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 2023 apartment on Europaweg feels fresh and efficient, with an A++ energy label that keeps running costs low. At €399,000, the price is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €675,300, though the 60 m² floor area is 56% smaller than the typical home in Romolenpolder-oost.

Most homes were built after 2010, and 81% have an A+ energy label. One resident describes it as "a nice neighbourhood" but notes concerns about safety and hygiene: "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 neighbourhood Romolenpolder-oost has a mix of households, with many singles and a fair share of families.
For daily shopping, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, a Lidl a couple of streets away, and a Dekamarkt within a five-minute walk. Schools are also close: OBS de Piramide and IKC Valeo are both a five-minute walk, and there are several other primary schools nearby. The municipality Haarlem offers good access to parks, the nearest park or garden is just a couple of streets away, and a restaurant is within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via KRK Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

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.
