The neighbourhood Stationsbuurt is a dense, urban pocket with a real city buzz. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as 'a cosier Amsterdam', busy but lively, with plenty to do. One resident says: 'I've been living here for a short while due to homelessness, but it's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do. It's still a city so greenery and housing always remain a bit rubbish, but well, where in the Netherlands don't you have that?' Another calls it 'cosy, beautiful, everything is nearby.' The area is very strongly urban (5,164 addresses per km²), with mostly smaller households, many singles and few families with children. Average incomes are in line with the city norm.
For your morning bread, the AH to go is just around the corner, and a full Albert Heijn and Aldi are a five-minute walk away. Schools are close too: the Willem van Oranjeschool (primary) is a couple of streets away, and ISK Haarlem (secondary) is within a five-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem offers all the city amenities you'd expect, with a train station a ten-minute walk away and a park just around the corner.
