Living between Schiphol and the polder: what gives Lijnden / Boesingheliede its character
Lijnden and Boesingheliede are two small settlements that together form a quiet, village-like living environment on the edge of the Haarlemmermeer, directly bordering the municipality of Amsterdam and a stone's throw from Schiphol. This makes the location special: you live in a rural setting, but you are within ten minutes of the A10 or A9 ring road. The N200 runs through the area and connects you quickly to Halfweg, Haarlem and Amsterdam-West. Public transport is via bus lines towards Amsterdam Sloterdijk and Hoofddorp, although the car is the primary means of transport for most residents. On the neighbourhood page of Lijnden / Boesingheliede you can read what residents themselves think about accessibility and liveability, including all scores and reviews.
The character of the neighbourhood is understated. Residents appreciate the peace, space and lack of mass development. A common sentiment in reviews is that you really have the space here that you don't find in Amsterdam or even Hoofddorp, but that you do have to get in the car for daily shopping. There is no supermarket within walking distance in the settlement itself; for that you drive to Halfweg or Hoofddorp. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, but secondary education is found in Hoofddorp or Haarlem. For sports, you can go to local clubs in the region; the green polder strips around the settlements are popular with cyclists and walkers. The sub-areas Lijnden, Boesingheliede and Lijnden Omgeving each have their own atmosphere: Lijnden is slightly more compactly built, Boesingheliede and the surrounding area are greener and quieter.
An honest point to mention: the proximity of Schiphol means aircraft noise, especially with certain wind directions. This is something to be consciously aware of if you are considering buying a home here. The municipality of Haarlemmermeer publishes current information on noise contours at haarlemmermeer.nl. Those who accept that get a remarkably quiet living environment in return, with more living space per euro than in the immediate urban fringe of Amsterdam.
For whom is buying in Lijnden / Boesingheliede a good choice?
Families and movers looking for space and willing to compromise on walking distance to amenities often find what they are looking for here. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average sale price of €589,000 and a living area of 180 m², this is not a starter market. Moreover, supply is limited, with only five sales in the past year, meaning you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for owner-occupiers) and notary fees. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental homes in Lijnden / Boesingheliede as an interim solution.
