Romolenpolder-oost is a compact neighbourhood with about 1,600 residents, mostly young adults between 25 and 45. It is densely built-up (over 4,000 addresses per km²) and very urban. One resident describes it as "a nice neighbourhood" but notes some concerns: "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." The neighbourhood Romolenpolder-oost has a mix of housing, with only 30% single-family homes and 28% owner-occupied.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Dekamarkt and Lidl a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC Valeo is a five-minute walk, OBS de Piramide and De Wijde Wereld are also close by. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and restaurants are just around the corner. The municipality Haarlem offers all city amenities, though the train station is a ten-minute drive.

About Sint Maartenpad 4, Haarlem
The rent is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €1,863, making it one of the more expensive rentals in Romolenpolder-oost. However, it is a brand-new, energy-efficient apartment (A++++ label) with 97 m² of space, which justifies the premium compared to older stock. The maximum rent in the area for similar properties is also €2,485, so this is at the top end.
Romolenpolder-oost is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a lot of greenery and is well maintained, according to one resident. However, the same resident mentioned concerns about safety (burglaries) and hygiene (cigarette butts). The population is young, with many singles and couples without children.
The apartment has an A++++ energy label, the highest possible. This means it is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. As a new build from 2024, it likely includes modern insulation, triple glazing, and a heat pump.
Albert Heijn is 198 metres away, Dekamarkt 256 metres, and Lidl 366 metres. Several primary schools are within a 500,600 metre walk. A park is 300 metres away, and restaurants are 700 metres. The train station is 3.6 km away, so you would need a bike or car for that.
Given the urban density, street parking may be limited. You would need to inquire with the agent about any dedicated parking or permit options.
