A modern apartment in Badhoevedorp
This bright apartment on Jan van Gentstraat sits in a quiet part of Badhoevedorp, a village that feels a world away from the bustle of Amsterdam yet is close enough to the city for an easy commute. Built in 2015, the home has a fresh, contemporary feel, and the A++ energy label means running costs should stay pleasantly low. At €2,900 per month, the rent sits well above the neighbourhood average of €1,395, so you are paying a premium for the modern build and the efficient label. For context, this is one of the apartments in Haarlemmermeer currently on the market.
The Badhoevedorp Noordoost neighbourhood
The Badhoevedorp Noordoost neighbourhood is a small, established pocket of Badhoevedorp with around 1,300 residents. The mix of households is varied: a good share of families with children, but also plenty of singles and older residents, so the streets feel lively without being hectic. The housing stock is split fairly evenly between owner-occupied and rental homes, which gives the area a stable, settled character. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the official statistics. It is a place where people tend to stay, and the quiet, green setting is a big part of its appeal.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn, just over a kilometre away, with a Lidl and a Vomar almost as close, so you have a few options for the weekly shop. The morning school run is easy: a special primary school is about 700 metres away, and a couple of other primary schools are within a ten-minute walk. For older children, secondary education is a bit further, around 1.8 kilometres. The area is part of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, which is known for its open polder landscape and good connections to Amsterdam and Schiphol. It is a practical, family-friendly spot where the essentials are never far.

Frequently asked questions
About Jan van Gentstraat 122B, Badhoevedorp
Is €2,900 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is €2,900 per month, which is more than double the average rent in the neighbourhood (€1,395). That average, however, is based on just one other rental listing, so it may not reflect the full range. The apartment is modern, built in 2015, and has an A++ energy label, which are factors that typically push rents up. Whether it is fair depends on what you value in a home.
What does the A++ energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A++ label is the most efficient category, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older or less efficient homes. The label is an official registration, and it reflects the building's energy performance as a whole. It does not guarantee a specific monthly amount, but it is a strong indicator that the home is well insulated and has an efficient heating system.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is about 5.8 kilometres away. That is a short drive or a reasonable cycle, depending on your preference. The distance is measured as the crow flies, so the actual route may be slightly longer. For daily commuting, you would likely rely on a car or bike to reach the station.
What schools are close to this apartment?
There are several primary schools within a short distance. The closest is a special primary school, De Driesprong, at about 700 metres, followed by Christelijke Basisschool Oranje Nassau at 781 metres and Basisschool Het Bovenland at 891 metres. For secondary education, the nearest option is around 1.8 kilometres away, so older children would have a slightly longer journey.
What supermarkets are nearby?
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn, about 1.2 kilometres away, with a Lidl and a Vomar almost as close, at around 1.2 kilometres as well. There are more options within a short drive, including another Albert Heijn and a Dirk. For daily groceries, you would have a few choices within a five-minute drive or a longer walk.
Is the neighbourhood family-friendly?
The neighbourhood has a mix of households, with 35% of households having children, which is a notable share. There are also many singles (38%) and older residents (22% are 65 or over), so it is not exclusively family-oriented. The presence of several primary schools nearby and a child daycare at just 300 metres adds to the family appeal.
