Living in Hoofddorp Toolenburg Oost, Haarlemmermeer
Toolenburg Oost is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the east side of Hoofddorp. The district was built in the 1980s and 1990s and largely consists of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a few detached homes on orderly streets with plenty of greenery in between. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacular architecture or bustling street life, but that is not why people come to live here either.
The atmosphere is friendly and community-oriented. Resident M. Veerman describes it aptly: "Lovely to live here, know the neighbours, contact and close to park, shops, retirement home. Friendly, 10 minutes' walk to the recreational lake." That recreational lake is the Toolenburgerplas, one of the larger recreational areas in the vicinity of Hoofddorp, within walking distance for residents of this neighbourhood. That is a concrete advantage that you do not have so directly in more urban neighbourhoods such as Hoofddorp Centrum West or Hoofddorp Centrum Oost.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Shopping centre Toolenburg offers supermarkets, a pharmacy and other daily amenities within walking distance. For a wider range of shops, the centre of Hoofddorp is easily accessible by bike. As for schools, the neighbourhood scores well: residents give education a 7.8, which is above average. There are several primary schools in and directly around the neighbourhood.
Accessibility scores a 7.0 among residents. By car, the A4 and A9 are quickly accessible, and Schiphol is about a ten-minute drive away. This makes Toolenburg Oost popular with people who travel regularly or work in the airport region. By public transport, you take the bus to Hoofddorp station, from where intercity trains depart to Amsterdam, The Hague and Leiden. The neighbourhood is also easily accessible by bike from the centre of Hoofddorp.
Not everyone is equally enthusiastic. Esther Bosveld gives the neighbourhood a 5.4 and describes it as "just not a cosy neighbourhood." The low scores for greenery (6.4) and beauty (6.6) indicate that the public space does not always look well-maintained and that the neighbourhood lacks liveliness for some. If you are looking for urban dynamism, you are better off in Hoofddorp Centrum Noord or another central neighbourhood. More neighbourhood information, all sub-scores and resident reviews can be found on the page of Hoofddorp Toolenburg Oost.
The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 45 to 65 years (2,565 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (1,515). This gives the neighbourhood a mature, stable character.
