Living in Badhoevedorp Nieuwe Meer, Haarlemmermeer
Badhoevedorp Nieuwe Meer is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the southeastern edge of Badhoevedorp, bordering the Nieuwe Meer. The neighbourhood has a distinctly villa-like character: spacious plots, detached homes and semi-detached homes dominate the streetscape. The housing stock largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s, but there are also later extensions with more modern homes. The combination of water, greenery and low building density gives this neighbourhood a character fundamentally different from the more urban parts of Badhoevedorp.
With 450 residents, it is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in the municipality. The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, followed by those aged 65 and over.
