The Bosch en Vaart neighbourhood
Bosch en Vaart is a neighbourhood with a split personality: it's lively yet anonymous, according to the two residents who reviewed it. One resident says: "By lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other." Another simply calls it "Cool" and notes that "everything close to a nice forest, not much hassle." The mix of ages is notable, with a good share of families and older residents, and most homes are owner-occupied. This is the Bosch en Vaart neighbourhood in a nutshell.
Life on the street
Daily life here is convenient. For your groceries, Vomar is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away, with Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Lyceum Sancta Maria is on your doorstep, and Coornhert Lyceum is just around the corner, while Bosch en Hovenschool is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the park is just around the corner for a weekend stroll. All of this sits within the municipality of Haarlem, a city that balances urban amenities with green spaces.

Frequently asked questions
About Wagenweg 242E, Haarlem
Is €1,750 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,750 per month is in line with the market. In the Bosch en Vaart neighbourhood, the average rent for available homes is €2,800, but that figure is based on a single listing with a larger average floor area of 100 m². This apartment offers 83 m², so the price per square metre works out to about €21, which is below the neighbourhood average of €28 per m².
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating the home's energy performance. A C label is mid-range, so you can expect moderate energy costs, but the label itself doesn't tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.8 km from the apartment, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting by train quite convenient, with Haarlem's station offering connections to various cities.
What are the neighbours like?
Based on two resident reviews, the neighbourhood has a lively but anonymous feel. One resident notes that many hip young people live here and there are plenty of amenities, but people don't really know each other beyond their immediate neighbours. Another resident appreciates the proximity to a nice forest and the lack of hassle.
Are there good schools nearby?
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. Lyceum Sancta Maria, a secondary school, is just 182 metres away, and Coornhert Lyceum is 416 metres. For primary education, Bosch en Hovenschool is 624 metres, and Crayenester-Basisschool is 647 metres. This makes the area convenient for families with school-age children.

Auto-translated to English by AIDrug dealing, setting off fireworks, noisy parties, parking on the pavement, cargo bike terror, damp damage and a municipality that completely ignores its residents. You wouldn't expect it in the most expensive neighbourhood of Haarlem, but it's an everyday occurrence.

Experiences from Haarlem
How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..
