Bloemenbuurt: a green, urban pocket
Bloemenbuurt is a densely built neighbourhood with 1,300 residents, many living alone (405 single-person households). The area scores 1 on the urbanity scale, meaning a very strong city feel, yet it has a park or public garden just around the corner. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from CBS figures: a mix of ages, with a slight tilt towards the 45-65 bracket. The neighbourhood Bloemenbuurt is known for its pre-war housing stock, though this apartment dates from 2001.
Daily life on Zijlweg
For groceries, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Dekamarkt is a couple of streets away. Primary school Focus is just a five-minute walk, and the Kennemer Lyceum secondary school is within easy reach. The municipality Haarlem offers a wide range of amenities, with a restaurant and a library both a short stroll away.
