Hoofddorp Overbos Noord, Haarlemmermeer
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Roekenbos 108 sits in a quiet residential street in Hoofddorp Overbos Noord. Built in 1986, it has 140 m² of living space and a 150 m² plot, with energy label C. The asking price of €575,000 is in line with the market, similar homes in the area sell for around €511,000 on average, and the median is €537,000. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Haarlemmermeer vary widely, but this one is fairly priced for its size.
The neighbourhood has a mixed feel, according to 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 park is now being completely renovated, but the greenery in the streets is not well maintained." A third simply calls it "Great." The area is reasonably green, with a park just a couple of streets away. Most homes are owner-occupied (46%) and single-family (83%), and the population is a mix of families and older residents. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Hoofddorp Overbos Noord.
Daily errands are easy: Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For primary schools, you have Rooms Katholieke Basisschool de Bosbouwers on your doorstep, De Klimboom a couple of minutes away, and Basisschool De Bosrank just a bit further. The nearest secondary school is about 2.2 km away. A GP practice is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality Haarlemmermeer offers plenty of amenities within reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Wekker Makelaardij Voorburg and other platforms.

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.
