Terraced houses in a municipality that keeps growing
Haarlemmermeer is no ordinary municipality. Built on reclaimed land, surrounded by the Ringvaart, and with Schiphol as an employer for a large part of its residents. This location makes the housing market here different from an average suburban municipality. Terraced houses dominate large parts of the owner-occupied landscape, from post-war rows in Hoofddorp to new-build streets in Nieuw-Vennep. The supply is reasonably varied in terms of construction year and size, but demand structurally exceeds supply. Current numbers can be found in the overview of all owner-occupied homes in Haarlemmermeer.
For those seriously considering buying a terraced house in Haarlemmermeer: this is a market in the upper middle segment. First-time buyers have a tough time, movers slightly less so. The municipality attracts many dual-income households who want to live close to Schiphol or Amsterdam without paying Amsterdam prices.
What to look out for with a terraced house, specifically here
- Schiphol noise zones. Part of Haarlemmermeer falls within the noise contours of Schiphol. Check the zoning plan for each property and ask about the sound insulation level. This also affects insurability and resale value.
- Foundation on peat soil. Especially in older neighbourhoods and the edges of the municipality, foundation problems are not uncommon. Always have a structural survey carried out, even if the house looks good.
- Homeowners' association (VvE) for new-build with shared elements. Some terraced houses in new-build complexes have a VvE for shared facilities. Check the reserves and minutes.
- Response time is short. Houses sell quickly here. Make sure your financing is in order before viewing, so you can make an offer within 24 hours.
- Ground lease occurs but is not the norm. Check the purchase contract for ground lease provisions, especially for properties near business parks or municipal property.
- Enable push notifications. Via the free Buurtje.nl app, you will receive an immediate notification as soon as new listings come online. You can download it from the App Store or Google Play. The app is completely free.
- Pay attention to the parking standard. Newer neighbourhoods have sufficient parking spaces, but in older parts of Hoofddorp and Nieuw-Vennep, parking can sometimes be tight. Ask about the parking situation on the street before making an offer.
What determines the price of a terraced house here
Terraced houses in Haarlemmermeer are in the upper middle segment of the Randstad. This is all due to the location: good connections to Amsterdam, Haarlem and Schiphol, and relatively little supply compared to demand.
Price-influencing factors for terraced houses include:
- Construction year and energy label (houses with label A or B perform noticeably better)
- Location relative to flight routes and noise zones
- Presence of an extension or dormer window
- Proximity to NS station or bus connection towards Amsterdam
- Condition of the foundation and roof

Neighbourhoods with the most living pleasure
Haarlemmermeer has several cores, each with its own character. Based on resident scores, a few stand out:
- Vijfhuizen (8.5/10): small village with a close-knit community, close to the Haarlemmermeerse Bossen. Quiet, green, little traffic.
- Abbenes / Buitenkaag (8.3/10): watery environment, popular with families seeking peace but still wanting to live in the Randstad.
- Rijsenhout (8.1/10): small ribbon village, predominantly owner-occupied homes, quiet atmosphere.
- Hoofddorp (8.0/10): the commercial and infrastructural heart of the municipality. Train station, shopping centre, good schools. The largest supply of terraced houses is here.
- Nieuw-Vennep (7.5/10): large residential core with many family homes. Good level of amenities, slightly less dynamic than Hoofddorp.

What does a terraced house in Haarlemmermeer cost?

What legal aspects should I consider for a terraced house in Haarlemmermeer?
Always check whether the property falls within a noise zone of Schiphol, as this affects insurance and resale value. Have a structural survey carried out due to possible foundation issues on peat soil. Also check for ground lease conditions and, for new builds, the homeowners' association reserves.
Which neighbourhoods in Haarlemmermeer are most popular for terraced houses?

What about parking for terraced houses in Haarlemmermeer?
In newer neighbourhoods, the parking standard is generous and there is usually sufficient space. In older parts of Hoofddorp and Nieuw-Vennep, on-street parking can be tight, especially in the evenings. Always ask about this during the viewing and check whether there is a private driveway or garage.
It's quite quiet and damp. It's also very cosy, children enjoy playing with each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIFortunately, everything is reasonably close by, such as Haarlem, Hoofddorp.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's lovely living here, you know the neighbours, contact, and close to a small park, shops, and a retirement home. Pleasant, 10 minutes' walk to a recreational lake.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have reasonable contact with each other, but if you don't have family in the neighbourhood, you could lie dead in your house for a month; it's still every man for himself. For hygiene, the streets are not cleaned, the street is uneven, you have to watch where you walk. For housing, more maintenance is needed; my house is damp, my kitchen lock is broken, the skylight hasn't been fixed properly, and I'm heating like crazy to keep warm, and it's only November.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnaffordable houses are being built, facilities lag behind. Refuse trucks are always on time but the bins and waste containers are not emptied often, resulting in mess on and along the roads and pavements. One road leading to Bloemenbuurt that is full of rubbish due to new construction and through traffic. Too many Moroccan people. Good schools though.
Auto-translated to English by AINice surroundings, quiet, convenient location relative to the A44 (though there are various road closures and diversions until 2030 due to bridge replacements). There are no shops, but a mobile shop comes three times a week for last-minute groceries, otherwise you drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep. Things are regularly organised in both De Buitenkaag and De Kaag, and thanks to that I've already met several villagers, which makes living here pleasant. A local newspaper appears a few times a year with all sorts of useful information and articles about the villages, residents and/or activities. Very handy!
Auto-translated to English by AII came to live at Oostmoor 22 when it was new. At first, very good contact with the fellow residents. Now partly - owner-occupied homes - the contact hasn't improved. Everyone lives in their own bubble, also caused by both partners working. People have no time for others. I myself make frequent use of the neighbourhood centre Linguenda, for a cup of coffee and a meal twice a month. Organised by volunteers. Even though the neighbourhood centre is centrally located in the area, it is still unknown to many. I also go to the meeting centre and C PUNT, to meet others and the belote club. For many elderly people, using a PC or laptop is somewhat complicated, and they therefore miss out on some information. I also use the supermarket for communication; you always run into someone you haven't seen in a while. Ludwig Fauser. optionally phone number 0640391865.
