Halfweg, Haarlemmermeer
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Prins Hendrikkade sits in Halfweg, a village that feels a world away from the bustle of Amsterdam yet is only a short drive from the city. Built in 1938, the home has 132 m² of living space on a 233 m² plot. With an energy label E, heating costs will be something to budget for.

Two-thirds of homes are single-family houses, and 69% are owner-occupied. The village has a moderate urban density, not too busy, not too quiet.

The municipality Haarlemmermeer oversees the wider region, which includes both rural pockets and modern suburbs.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Lidl is a couple of streets further.
