The asking price of €529,000 is in line with the market for semi-detached houses in Haarlemmermeer. The home offers 153 m² of living space on a 287 m² plot, built in 1968 with energy label D. Without comparable sales data for Buitenkaag itself, the price reflects the size and the quiet village setting.
The home has energy label D. This means it is moderately efficient, you can expect reasonable heating costs, but not as low as a modern A-rated home. The label is based on the original construction year (1968) and any improvements made since.
The nearest train station is 7.6 km away. This makes the home more suitable for those who drive or cycle to the station, as it is not within walking distance.
No, there are no shops in Buitenkaag itself. A mobile shop visits three times a week for last-minute groceries. For full supermarket shopping, you need to drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep, where the nearest supermarkets are about 2.5 km away.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
Nice surroundings, quiet, convenient location relative to the A44 (though there are various road closures and diversions until 2030 due to bridge replacements). There are no shops, but a mobile shop comes three times a week for last-minute groceries, otherwise you drive to Sassenheim, Lisse or Nieuw-Vennep. Things are regularly organised in both De Buitenkaag and De Kaag, and thanks to that I've already met several villagers, which makes living here pleasant. A local newspaper appears a few times a year with all sorts of useful information and articles about the villages, residents and/or activities. Very handy!
Auto-translated to English by AIHalf the neighbours are racists. I am foreign and they can't accept that well; I was bullied and harassed for the first 2 years I lived here. But at some point the neighbourhood became nice.

How residents experience their municipality
It's quite quiet and damp. It's also very cosy, children enjoy playing with each other.
Auto-translated to English by AIFortunately, everything is reasonably close by, such as Haarlem, Hoofddorp.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's lovely living here, you know the neighbours, contact, and close to a small park, shops, and a retirement home. Pleasant, 10 minutes' walk to a recreational lake.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have reasonable contact with each other, but if you don't have family in the neighbourhood, you could lie dead in your house for a month; it's still every man for himself. For hygiene, the streets are not cleaned, the street is uneven, you have to watch where you walk. For housing, more maintenance is needed; my house is damp, my kitchen lock is broken, the skylight hasn't been fixed properly, and I'm heating like crazy to keep warm, and it's only November.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnaffordable houses are being built, facilities lag behind. Refuse trucks are always on time but the bins and waste containers are not emptied often, resulting in mess on and along the roads and pavements. One road leading to Bloemenbuurt that is full of rubbish due to new construction and through traffic. Too many Moroccan people. Good schools though.

Auto-translated to English by AII came to live at Oostmoor 22 when it was new. At first, very good contact with the fellow residents. Now partly - owner-occupied homes - the contact hasn't improved. Everyone lives in their own bubble, also caused by both partners working. People have no time for others. I myself make frequent use of the neighbourhood centre Linguenda, for a cup of coffee and a meal twice a month. Organised by volunteers. Even though the neighbourhood centre is centrally located in the area, it is still unknown to many. I also go to the meeting centre and C PUNT, to meet others and the belote club. For many elderly people, using a PC or laptop is somewhat complicated, and they therefore miss out on some information. I also use the supermarket for communication; you always run into someone you haven't seen in a while. Ludwig Fauser. optionally phone number 0640391865.
