Homes for sale in Vijfhuizen, Haarlemmermeer

House prices in Vijfhuizen: well above the municipal average

Vijfhuizen is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: 78% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, which is significantly higher than in many other parts of Haarlemmermeer. The average WOZ value is €564,000, compared to a municipal average of €472,000. That difference of almost €92,000 says something about the type of homes that dominate here: spacious single-family homes and detached houses, not a neighbourhood full of apartments. Over the past twelve months, 22 homes were sold with an average sale price of €748,409. The range runs from €150,000 to €1,400,000, indicating that the supply is diverse, from a starter home to a substantial detached villa. The average living area of 169 m² confirms that picture.

Vijfhuizen: a village within walking distance of everything, but with its own character

Vijfhuizen does not feel like an average commuter neighbourhood. It is a recognisable village with its own centre, surrounded by the Haarlemmermeerpolder and the Haarlemmermeerse Bos. That forest is just around the corner and offers space for walking, cycling and sports, something residents clearly appreciate. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores an 8.5 out of 10, with green space and community each receiving a 9.0. Resident Betty describes the neighbourhood as "gezellig" and mentions a practical advantage that many people overlook: you are reasonably close to both Haarlem and Hoofddorp here, without living in either. More resident reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the Vijfhuizen neighbourhood page.

Facilities score a remarkable 9.5. The village itself has a primary school and several sports clubs are active, including football and tennis clubs. For daily groceries, there is a local supermarket, but for a full range of shops you quickly drive to Hoofddorp. Accessibility also scores high with a 9.0. Vijfhuizen is located directly on the A9 and a short distance from the A4 and A5, making connections to Amsterdam, Haarlem and Schiphol smooth. Public transport goes via bus connections towards Hoofddorp, from where you can continue by train. Schiphol is about a ten-minute drive away, which was a conscious choice for many residents when buying a home here.

Within Vijfhuizen, there are several sub-areas each with their own atmosphere. Vijfhuizen Stellinghof is a newer residential area with spacious plots, while Vijfhuizen Nieuwebrug has a more rural character. Vijfhuizen Omgeving also offers a different living environment for those seeking more space outside the core. The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 45 to 65 years old, and 830 households have children at home. That says something about who lives here: families and movers who consciously choose peace, space and accessibility.

For which buyers is Vijfhuizen a serious option?

Vijfhuizen mainly attracts families and movers looking for a spacious single-family home or detached house and are willing to pay an above-average price for it. With an average sale price of over €748,000, this is not a market for starters with a limited budget. Those who still want to live in the area but have less to spend can also look at Hoofddorp or Nieuw-Vennep. When buying in Vijfhuizen, take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. Supply is limited, with 22 sales in a year, so acting quickly pays off. Those who want to remain flexible can find an alternative on the page rental homes in Vijfhuizen.
