One describes it as "lively but anonymous": "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 "everything close to a nice forest, not much hassle." The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (2,481 addresses per km²) and a high proportion of owner-occupied homes (81%). The Bosch en Vaart neighbourhood is well established, with most homes built between 1945 and 1970.
For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Vomar are a five-minute walk away. The Coornhert Lyceum secondary school is on your doorstep, while Bosch en Hovenschool primary school is a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre is easily reachable by bike. The municipality of Haarlem offers a wide range of cultural and recreational amenities, including a park or public garden just around the corner.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through two channels: PUUR* Makelaars Haarlem and Funda. The asking price is keen relative to the neighbourhood average, though the compact size and energy label E mean heating costs will be higher than in a modern home.

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. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.
