The Romolenpolder-oost neighbourhood
Romolenpolder-oost is a quiet, green part of Haarlem with a mix of modern and older homes. One resident describes it as 'a nice neighbourhood', though they note some concerns about safety and cleanliness: '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.' Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores a 7.75 out of 10. The area is densely populated (address density 4049) and mostly consists of apartments (only 0.3% single-family homes). Many residents are young adults aged 25-45, and the average household size is 1.9. For more details, see the Romolenpolder-oost neighbourhood.
