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.
