Living in the Haarlemmerhoutkwartier: green, well-connected and with its own character
The Haarlemmerhoutkwartier takes its name from the Haarlemmerhout, the oldest city park in the Netherlands, and that green character is felt everywhere. Residents on Buurtje.nl give the neighbourhood a 7.8 out of 10, with notably high scores for accessibility (9.0), green spaces (8.3) and education (8.3). Resident Anna writes: "My neighbourhood is nice and social. Lots of beautiful inner gardens. Students, elderly and families together. View of the Spaarne." That mixed character is accurate: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, but there are also many young adults and families with children. 61% of residents are highly educated and the average income of €59,400 is well above the Haarlem average.
In terms of amenities, you are well-served here. Along the Brouwersvaart and the Tempeliersstraat you will find various specialist shops, an Albert Heijn and eateries. Schools such as the Dreefschool and the Montessorischool Haarlem are located in the neighbourhood, and the Coornhert Lyceum for secondary education is within walking distance. Sportpark Eindenhout offers space for hockey, tennis and football. The Haarlemmerhout itself is a large park with walking paths, a petting zoo and an open-air theatre. Accessibility scores a 9.0 for a reason: Haarlem station is a ten-minute bike ride away, bus lines 2 and 3 stop in the neighbourhood, and via the Dreef and the Westelijke Randweg you are quickly on the A200 towards Amsterdam. The train journey to Amsterdam Centraal takes a quarter of an hour.
Yet it is not all roses. Resident Mika describes the neighbourhood as "lively but anonymous": many trendy young people and good amenities, but neighbours do not always know each other well and there is a lot of turnover. Faith is more critical and mentions nuisance from fireworks, parking pressure and cargo bikes on the pavement, especially in the Koninginnebuurt. The safety score of 6.9 confirms that picture. It is wise to keep your eyes open and check the atmosphere per street.

Auto-translated to English by AIDrug dealing, setting off fireworks, noisy parties, parking on the pavement, cargo bike terror, damp damage and a municipality that completely ignores its residents. You wouldn't expect it in the most expensive neighbourhood of Haarlem, but it's an everyday occurrence.
