Buitenkaag is a small village with about 480 residents, many of whom live in single-family homes. Two residents have shared their experiences: one says, "Nice surroundings, quiet, convenient location relative to the A44." Another notes, "Half the neighbours are racists. I am foreign and they can't accept that well; I was bullied and harassed for the first 2 years I lived here. But at some point the neighbourhood became nice." The neighbourhood Buitenkaag has a mix of ages, with a notable share of residents aged 45 and older.
For daily shopping, you'll find Albert Heijn about a five-minute walk away, and Vomar and Dirk a couple of streets further. The nearest primary school, Rooms Katholieke basisschool St. Willibrordus, is just around the corner. Other schools, like Rooms Katholieke Basisschool de Springplank, are a ten-minute walk. The municipality Haarlemmermeer offers more amenities in nearby towns.

Very good · 2 residents
Nice surroundings, quiet, convenient location relative to the A44 (though there are various road closures and diversions until 2030 due to bridge replacements). There are no shops, but a mobile shop comes three times a week for last-minute groceries, otherwise you drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep. Things are regularly organised in both De Buitenkaag and De Kaag, and thanks to that I've already met several villagers, which makes living here pleasant. A local newspaper appears a few times a year with all sorts of useful information and articles about the villages, residents and/or activities. Very handy!

About Huigsloterdijk 386, Buitenkaag
At 275 m², the price per square metre is about €2,182. That is on the high side compared to other apartments in Haarlemmermeer, but the size is well above average. Without comparable sales in Buitenkaag itself, it's hard to say exactly, but the asking price reflects the generous floor area.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home built in 1940. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not as low as a modern A-label home. The listing does not mention insulation or double glazing, so those may need attention.
The nearest train station is 7.6 km away. That means you'll need a car or bus to reach it. The listing does not specify bus connections, but the A44 is nearby for driving.
There are no shops in the village itself, but a mobile shop comes three times a week. For full groceries, you drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep. The nearest supermarket, Albert Heijn, is about 2.6 km away.
Buitenkaag is a quiet village with 480 residents. Reviews are mixed: one resident loves the peace and convenience, another experienced racism as a foreigner. The village has a local newspaper and regular events, which help build community.
The apartment was built in 1940, so it's over 80 years old. With energy label D, it likely has original features but may need updates. The listing does not mention recent renovations, so you should expect some maintenance.
