Living in Hoofddorp Bornholm West, Haarlemmermeer

Bornholm West is a quiet, green residential area on the west side of Hoofddorp with a distinct 1970s character. The neighbourhood is laid out as a self-contained residential core with plenty of greenery between homes, wide pavements and a clear street structure. You can recognise the construction period from the semi-detached and terraced houses with flat roofs or low pitched roofs, but there are also detached houses on the quieter streets towards the edge of the neighbourhood.
