Badhoevedorp according to residents: high expectations, mediocre ratings

On Buurtje.nl, Badhoevedorp scores a 4.1 out of 10 based on resident experiences. That is remarkably low for a neighbourhood at this price level. Resident J. puts it sharply: "Feels like the dumping ground of Haarlemmermeer." The core of the frustration? Plenty of new, unaffordable homes are being built, but amenities are not keeping pace. Waste containers are not emptied enough, causing rubbish to pile up along pavements and roads. The road to the Bloemenbuurt, one of the new-build areas, is according to this resident "full of mess due to new construction and through traffic." The neighbourhood does score an 8 out of 10 for education, and safety (6.0) and green spaces (6.0) are also considered reasonable. But for amenities (2.0), sense of community (2.0) and housing (1.0), the scores are frankly disappointing. Read all resident reviews and neighbourhood data for Badhoevedorp for the full picture.

Yet Badhoevedorp also has strong points. The location is unique: sandwiched between Schiphol, the A4 and the Nieuwe Meer, meaning you can quickly reach Amsterdam, Haarlem or Leiden. The village has its own centre around the Sloterweg with a few shops, a GP and primary schools. The green surroundings around the Nieuwe Meer offer space for walking and cycling. But if you expect a bustling shopping area or nightlife, you will be disappointed. For more extensive amenities, you will need to rely on Hoofddorp or Amsterdam.

The various neighbourhoods each have their own character. In the Centre, you are close to shops and public transport. Bouwlust is one of the new-build areas where construction is currently in full swing, with the associated disruption. In Schuilhoeve and the south of Badhoevedorp, you will find more peace and larger plots. The municipality of Haarlemmermeer is investing in the redevelopment of the A9 zone, which will bring changes to accessibility and liveability in the coming years.

Renting in Badhoevedorp: for families with a budget, less so for starters

With an average income of €47,900 and a large proportion of households with children (2,515), Badhoevedorp is clearly a family neighbourhood. The good schools (score 8 out of 10) and green spaces attract young parents. But renting an apartment in Badhoevedorp in the private sector is not cheap, and the social rental supply is limited with only 14% housing association stock. For starters or single people with a modest income, this is not a logical choice. If you are looking for more affordable options, you could look at the rental supply elsewhere in Haarlemmermeer, for example in Nieuw-Vennep. Considering buying instead of renting?
