Vijfhoek, Haarlem

With 68 m² of living space and a small courtyard, it's a compact but characterful home.

Another describes it as "busy but cosy, with everything conveniently close by." The neighbourhood Vijfhoek is densely urban (5,770 addresses per km²) and home to mostly young adults and singles, 60% of households are one-person. It's a lively, walkable area where life spills onto the streets.
Your morning bread run is just around the corner: Jumbo is 215 m away, Dekamarkt 284 m, and Albert Heijn 327 m. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer is a five-minute walk, and Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is similarly close. The municipality Haarlem packs a lot into a small area, restaurants, a library, and a park are all within a ten-minute stroll.

Very good · 3 residents
De vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice place to live. Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer. The parks are also very nice, I'm there quite often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe needs of a cat or dog are done at my doorstep (which I can't do anything about) and it is never cleaned up.
