Hoofddorp Bornholm Oost, Haarlemmermeer
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Alholm sits in a quiet part of Hoofddorp, where the streets are lined with greenery and neighbours still greet each other. With 201 m² of living space, it is nearly twice as big as the average home in the area, a real find for anyone who values room to spread out. The asking price of €699,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €510,000, but the extra square metres and corner position explain that. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Haarlemmereer vary widely, so this one stands out.
Residents give the neighbourhood Hoofddorp Bornholm Oost an average 8.5 out of 10. One resident says: "I've been living here for 3 years now and nothing ever really happens, I have friendly neighbours, we don't interfere with each other. But there are a few you can ring if something is wrong. Furthermore, I find the greenery in the area very beautiful." Another notes: "Good neighbourhood with all the things you need. Few reports of accidents. Many schools nearby, so plenty of choice." The area is strongly urban (2,325 addresses per km²) yet feels spacious thanks to the many parks and gardens. Most homes are owner-occupied (80%) and built between 1970 and 1990, so the streets have a settled, family-friendly feel.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away, both within a few minutes' walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Christelijke Basisschool Vesterhavet and Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Klippeholm, each about a five-minute stroll. The municipality Haarlemmermeer offers good connections to Haarlem and Amsterdam, though the nearest train station is a ten-minute drive. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, perfect for an evening walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Huizenbemiddelaar c.s. Hoofddorp/Haarlem and DHB Makelaardij.

I've been living here for 3 years now and nothing ever really happens, I have friendly neighbours, we don't interfere with each other. But there are a few you can ring if something is wrong. Furthermore, I find the greenery in the area very beautiful. Because of the new underground container that is much too small, there is sometimes rubbish on the street. This is also because rubbish is dumped here from the surrounding neighbourhood. In terms of safety, I do feel safe here, something rarely happens.
