Hoofddorp Overbos Zuid, Haarlemmermeer
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Liesbos sits in a leafy part of Overbos Zuid, where the streets feel calm and the gardens are generous. With 131 m² of living space and a 253 m² plot, it's considerably larger than the average home in the neighbourhood. The asking price of €645,000 is 30% above the local average of €497,667, which reflects the extra space and the fact that semi-detached houses in Haarlemmermeer are in limited supply.
Residents describe Overbos Zuid as safe, clean and well-connected. One resident says: "I think it's a very safe neighbourhood to walk around in. Not too many loitering youths and little to no nuisance." Another adds: "The neighbourhood is close-knit in my opinion and I feel safe here." The area has several playgrounds and a small park with water where children play. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.75 out of 10. Most homes are owner-occupied (67%) and built between 1970 and 1990, so the streets have a settled, established feel. For more context, see the Hoofddorp Overbos Zuid neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Three primary schools, IBS De Olijfboom, Openbare Basisschool De Tovercirkel and Basisschool De Bosrank, are all within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. A GP and a dentist are also within walking distance, and the Haarlemmermeerse bos offers walking spots nearby. The area is well-connected, with quick access to Amsterdam and the surrounding region. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Haarlemmermeer.

Details of this home
Insure your home and belongingsGet insuredAbout Liesbos 94, Hoofddorp
The asking price is 30% above the average asking price in Overbos Zuid (€497,667), but this home is also 39% larger than the neighbourhood average (131 m² vs 94 m²). Semi-detached houses are relatively scarce in Haarlemmermeer, and the property includes a 253 m² plot. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet street.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. You can expect moderate energy bills, though improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring the label up. In the neighbourhood, 41.7% of homes have label A and another 41.7% have label B, so this home is slightly below the local average.
Residents say it's a safe, close-knit area with many families. There are several playgrounds, a small park with water, and at least four primary schools within walking distance. The neighbourhood app Nextdoor is used for community help. Some residents note that waste collection could be better, but overall it's considered very liveable.
Vomar is 339 metres away and Albert Heijn is 394 metres, both just around the corner. For primary education, IBS De Olijfboom, Openbare Basisschool De Tovercirkel and Basisschool De Bosrank are all within a five-minute walk. Secondary schools are about 1.3 km away.
The nearest train station is 5.2 km away. That's a ten-minute drive or a longer cycle. The neighbourhood is well-connected by road, and residents say you're quickly in Amsterdam and the surrounding area.
The plot is 253 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house in this area. The listing does not specify whether it's a garden, terrace or lawn, but the size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see the exact layout.
The home was built in 1986 and has energy label C, so it's not a new build but should be in reasonable condition. The listing does not mention any recent renovations. A viewing would give you a better idea of the interior state.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
In the middle of shopping facilities. Spacious and quiet. However, the municipality could remove weeds more often.
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here in Overbos-Zuid. I think it's a very safe neighbourhood to walk around in. Not too many loitering youths and little to no nuisance. The streets look clean, but occasionally a bit old and outdated. We have a neighbourhood prevention app group in case something happens. There's a small park near our house with some trees and water where many children play. I think there are about 5-6 playgrounds in Overbos-Zuid. However, there are no peers living in the neighbourhood. They are either younger families or elderly people, so that's a shame. I give the liveability of Overbos-Zuid a solid 8.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many walking spots here, such as the Haarlemmermeerse bos. Within walking distance you'll find at least 4 schools and plenty of childcare. Other amenities are also easily accessible, such as GPs, shops, physiotherapists, dentists, you name it. In addition, it's well-connected and you're quickly in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. Living here is on the expensive side and social housing is not very well maintained in my opinion (such as mould in the communal areas, poor ventilation of the homes and insufficient insulation). Hygiene is difficult to judge, but when it comes to litter on the streets, there is still plenty of room for improvement. Because the residual waste bins are only emptied once a month and not everyone separates their waste, it doesn't smell fresh in some places after a while. Also, waste bins that were put out some time ago often stand by the roadside for days. On my street they have started separating waste into different wheelie bins, but there simply isn't space for them. As a result, these bins often block entrances or part of the pavement.. The neighbourhood is close-knit in my opinion and I feel safe here. Among other things, a neighbourhood app (Nextdoor) is used, where I see a lot of helpfulness from neighbours. However, I don't recommend the app itself, because you'll receive emails for the rest of your life, even if you've reported them as spam and unsubscribed multiple times, haha.

How residents experience their district
It's quite quiet and damp. It's also very cosy, children enjoy playing with each other.
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 AIit's a nice place to live, but if you like a bit of atmosphere and liveliness then this is not the place to be. for the rest you have everything here and the connection is good.
Auto-translated to English by AIJust not a cosy neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 3 years now and nothing ever really happens, I have friendly neighbours, we don't interfere with each other. But there are a few you can ring if something is wrong. Furthermore, I find the greenery in the area very beautiful. Because of the new underground container that is much too small, there is sometimes rubbish on the street. This is also because rubbish is dumped here from the surrounding neighbourhood. In terms of safety, I do feel safe here, something rarely happens.
Auto-translated to English by AILife in Floriande is certainly fine. With a variety of shops, schools and recreational facilities, you have everything you need within reach. Accessibility is also ideal, thanks to the proximity of major roads and public transport. Whether you want to shop, exercise or travel, from Floriande it's all taken care of. Hoofddorp centre is also not too far and Haarlem, Hillegom and Heemstede etc. are also easy to reach!

Auto-translated to English by AIFortunately, everything is reasonably close by, such as Haarlem, Hoofddorp.

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 AINice 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 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.
