A modern apartment on Schipholweg
This is a bright, modern apartment on Schipholweg in Haarlem, built in 2019 and finished to a high standard. With 87 m² of living space, it feels spacious and well laid out, and the energy label A means it is very efficient to run. The rent of €1,800 is on the high side compared with the neighbourhood average, which sits around €1,451, but the floor area is a third larger than the typical home here. For context, that price is also above the average for apartments in Haarlem.
The Romolenpolder-oost neighbourhood
Romolenpolder-oost is a green, well-maintained part of Haarlem, and the one resident review we have gives it a 7.75 out of 10. They say: "There is a lot of greenery which is very nice and it is well maintained." They also note that accessibility is fine, though a road was recently closed for a year. The same review mentions a few burglaries and some litter, so it is not without its drawbacks. The area is home to many young adults, with 57% of residents aged between 25 and 45, and a mix of single-person and family households. This is a neighbourhood that feels settled and cared for, as the Romolenpolder-oost neighbourhood page shows.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the SPAR express is just around the corner, and a Vomar is a five-minute walk away, with a Dekamarkt and Lidl also within easy reach. Haarlem College, a secondary school, is on your doorstep, and the Eerste Christelijk Lyceum is just a couple of streets away. For younger children, De Talenten primary school is a five-minute walk, and the Sint Bernardusschool is a little further. The train station is 3.8 km away, so commuting by rail means a short cycle or bus ride. All of this sits within the municipality of Haarlem, which has plenty to offer.
