Hoofddorp Overbos Noord, Haarlemmermeer
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Bervoetsbos in Hoofddorp sits on a remarkably large plot of 2310 m², that's a proper garden. The home itself is 100 m², built in 1985 and has an A++ energy label, so it's very efficient. At €1,570 per month, the price is in line with the market, as it's the only rental in this category in the neighbourhood. For more context, see end-of-terrace houses in Haarlemmermeer.
The neighbourhood scores a 7.77 out of 10 from three reviews. One resident says: "I do think the neighbourhood is going downhill, but the street where I live is still great. Nice neighbours. The shops are good. Public transport is also good. Beautiful green forest in the area." Another notes: "There is too much concentration of problem families in certain blocks of flats or apartment complexes... The neighbourhood is reasonably green, but poorly maintained." It's a mixed picture, but the street itself seems well-liked. The area has many families and a mix of ages. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Hoofddorp Overbos Noord.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. Jumbo and Lidl are a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby: IJwegschool is a five-minute walk, and De Klimboom and Rooms Katholieke Basisschool de Bosbouwers are also within easy reach. The park is on your doorstep, perfect for a stroll. For more on the wider area, see municipality Haarlemmermeer.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is too much concentration of problem families in certain blocks of flats or apartment complexes. Senior housing in the middle of the neighbourhoods is no longer used for that purpose. Now families/refugees? live there. There is no information provided to residents about why and how certain decisions are made. The park is now being completely renovated, but the greenery in the streets is not well maintained, just like the paving itself. There is a big difference in how the various streets look. The Boskern offers a wide range of activities, but they struggle to reach the people. In terms of facilities, there is enough on offer: GP practice, shops, schools, etc. The buses are easily accessible. The neighbourhood is reasonably green, but poorly maintained. The bring parks are dirty and people put things there that are meant for bulky waste. I have lived here for 40 years but feel no sense of community with the neighbourhood.

About Bervoetsbos 165, Hoofddorp

The energy label is A++, which is the highest rating. That means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. It's a well-insulated property.
