Living in Badhoevedorp: village feel with the downside of Schiphol
Badhoevedorp is nestled between the A4, the A9 and Schiphol Airport. This makes accessibility excellent if you travel by car: you can be on the motorway towards Amsterdam, Haarlem or Leiden within five minutes. Public transport is more difficult. There is no train station in the village itself. You rely on Connexxion bus lines, including line 198 to Schiphol Plaza and line 195 towards Amsterdam Zuidoost. Schiphol station can be reached by bus in about ten minutes, from where you can travel further. However, residents rate accessibility on Buurtje.nl a meagre 3 out of 10, which is likely related to congestion on local roads and limited public transport frequency outside peak hours.
The resident rating on the district page of Badhoevedorp is notably low at 4.1 out of 10. Education scores highest (8 out of 10), which makes sense: primary schools such as De Windwijzer and De Ark have a good reputation, and for secondary education you can go to nearby Hoofddorp. But in terms of amenities (2 out of 10) and housing (1 out of 10), residents are critical. One resident sums it up sharply: "Feels like the drain of Haarlemmermeer. Unaffordable houses are being built, but amenities lag behind." For daily groceries, you have an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo on Sloterweg, but for more extensive shopping you need to go to the centre of Hoofddorp or to Amstelveen. The Wandelbos and the Haarlemmermeerse Bos provide green space in the area, and the sub-score for green space (6 out of 10) confirms that.
The character varies considerably per neighbourhood. In the centre you find most amenities and an older housing stock. The Bouwlust neighbourhood is under development with new construction, but residents complain about mess along the roads due to construction traffic. In Schuilhoeve and Badhoevedorp Dijk it is quieter and greener. You can play sports at football club SV Badhoevedorp or tennis club De Slotermeervallei. There is also a swimming pool, De Meerkamp, which is popular with families. The municipality of Haarlemmermeer is investing in the redevelopment of the village after the construction of the sunken A9, but the effects are still pending.
Does Badhoevedorp suit you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price of over €800,000, buying a house in Badhoevedorp is not a starter option, unless you consider buying an apartment in Badhoevedorp in the lower segment around €300,000. Families with above-average incomes (the average disposable income is €47,900) form the largest group: 2,515 households have children. Movers seeking space near Schiphol and Amsterdam will find opportunities here, but be honestly prepared: supply is limited and overbidding occurs. In addition to the purchase price, factor in additional costs such as transfer tax (2%), notary and estate agent fees. Those who want to be more flexible can also look at rental properties in Badhoevedorp. Seniors (2,695 residents are 65+) find the village attractive due to the peace and quiet, but must take into account the limited amenities.
