Living in Nieuw-Vennep West, Haarlemmermeer
Nieuw-Vennep West is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the western edge of Nieuw-Vennep. The housing largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached homes on relatively spacious plots by Haarlemmermeer standards. The streets are green, the gardens are large, and traffic moves at a low pace. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but it is one that retains residents due to its living comfort and tranquillity.
Notable in the demographic composition is that the 65-plus age group, with 895 people, is by far the largest age category out of a total of 2,870 residents. That colours the atmosphere of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, social cohesion is present, and the neighbourhood has a certain settled character. Young families are less dominant than in, for example, Nieuw-Vennep Getsewoud Noord, which has a newer and younger composition.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. The shopping centre of Nieuw-Vennep, with supermarkets and shops for daily needs, is within cycling distance. For a larger range of shops, the centre of Nieuw-Vennep, including the In de Boogaard shopping centre, is easily accessible. Sports clubs and primary schools are present in the wider district, and the green surroundings of Haarlemmermeer offer plenty of space for walking and cycling in the polder.
In terms of accessibility, Nieuw-Vennep West benefits from its location near the A4 motorway, making Amsterdam and The Hague quickly reachable. By car, you can be at Schiphol in about twenty minutes.
