Living in Haarwijk: amenities, accessibility and what residents think

Haarwijk is a neighbourhood that scores well on paper but evokes mixed feelings in practice. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores 7.4 out of 10 based on resident reviews. Accessibility scores a perfect 10, amenities a 9 and safety an 8. But the score for cleanliness drops sharply to a 3. That is no coincidence. Resident Zegert van Eijk writes bluntly: "Filthy." He regularly reports litter around the underground waste containers, but the problem keeps recurring. "Haarwijk is often a mess due to litter," according to his review. That is an honest signal for anyone considering buying a home here: the neighbourhood has a lot to offer, but the public space needs attention.

For whom is buying in Haarwijk a good choice?

The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but there are also many families with children. Haarwijk thus appeals to both movers and families looking for space at a reasonable price compared to the Randstad. With an average income of €33,200, lower than the municipal average of €37,300, this is not a neighbourhood where everyone can easily finance buying a home. When purchasing, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and possible renovation costs.
