Living in Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid, Haarlemmermeer
Toolenburg Zuid is a relatively young neighbourhood on the southwest side of Hoofddorp, developed from the 1990s and early 2000s. The streets are spacious, there is plenty of water in the form of canals and ponds, and the homes sit on sizeable plots compared to older Hoofddorp neighbourhoods. Resident SB describes it aptly: "It is a quiet neighbourhood with many young families. Lots of playgrounds in the area. Because it is a new neighbourhood, the planting still needs to grow; there is plenty of green and water." That picture is accurate: the trees have now grown considerably, but the neighbourhood does not yet have the mature appearance of, for example, Hoofddorp Graan voor Visch, which was built a generation earlier.
The population composition tells the story of a family neighbourhood. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (1,710 residents), followed by 1,220 children under 15. Households with children, at 945, are by far the largest category. This is reflected in the streets: cargo bikes, basketball hoops on driveways, and regularly schoolchildren on their way to Basisschool Toolenburg or other schools in the immediate vicinity. For secondary education, students rely on schools elsewhere in Hoofddorp or Nieuw-Vennep.
For daily groceries, there is a supermarket within cycling distance, and the centre of Hoofddorp with the Vier Meren-passage can be reached by bike in a quarter of an hour. For sports, the neighbourhood has the Toolenburgerplas recreation area, a popular spot for swimming, canoeing and walking in summer. This partly explains the high green score of 8.3 given by residents.
Accessibility by car is good: the A4 and A9 can be reached within five to ten minutes. Hoofddorp station offers direct connections to Amsterdam Central (approximately 20 minutes) and Schiphol (approximately 10 minutes). From Toolenburg Zuid, you can cycle to the station in about ten minutes. For public transport, residents rate accessibility at 6.7, indicating that bus connections within the neighbourhood itself are perceived as limited. If you want to commute daily without a car, it is advisable to check the public transport connections in advance via the municipality of Haarlemmermeer.
A caveat that SB mentions is the congestion and litter at the entrance to the neighbourhood from the Hoofdvaart. This is a point that comes up in conversations with residents: the main access road can be heavily congested during rush hour. Those seeking peace once inside the home and in the residential streets will find it here. Resident LK gives the neighbourhood a 9.0 and simply calls it a "very good and safe neighbourhood". The safety score of 8.3 and community score of 8.3 confirm this. Read more resident reviews on the page for Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid.
Compared to Hoofddorp Centrum West or Hoofddorp Centrum Oost, Toolenburg Zuid offers more space and new-build quality, but less direct proximity to shops and restaurants. If you consciously choose a quiet family environment with spacious homes, you are in the right place here.
Who is a home for sale in Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid interesting for?

The education level in the neighbourhood is high (50% highly educated) and the labour participation rate is 75%, reflecting purchasing power.

Those who want to live in Toolenburg Zuid but are not yet able or willing to buy can also look at rental properties in Hoofddorp Toolenburg Zuid, although the rental supply is more limited than the owner-occupied segment.

It's quite quiet and damp. It's also very cosy, children enjoy playing with each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood with many young families. Lots of playgrounds in the area. Because it's a new neighbourhood, the planting still needs to grow; there is plenty of greenery and water. A downside is that when you enter the neighbourhood from the Hoofdvaart, it's very busy with traffic and there is a lot of litter. Also in several parts of the neighbourhood there is a lot of litter. Maybe the municipality can do something about this? Public transport is too far for me and no shops within walking distance. Otherwise a safe neighbourhood because many people have cameras. I live in an apartment where we have a group chat for emergencies and other matters. All in all a pleasant living environment.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery good and safe neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe nearest supermarket is a 10-minute bike ride away (Toolenburg centrum), not walkable for the elderly. A supermarket near Tudorpark would be nice. There is a lot of greenery and the architecture is beautiful. I hope no more new-build homes are built in the neighbourhood to keep it quiet. There is also a motorway nearby. What do I miss? -a small park in the neighbourhood -supermarket within walking distance
