Hoofddorp Overbos Noord, Haarlemmermeer
NeighbourhoodThis three-storey terrace house on Mastbos sits in a leafy part of Hoofddorp. With 93 m² of living space and a 123 m² plot, it's a compact but practical home. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though you'll want to budget for heating. At €498,000, the asking price is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €603,500, making it a keen option compared to other terraced houses in Haarlemmermeer.
The neighbourhood Hoofddorp Overbos Noord is a mixed residential area with mostly family homes. Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the green surroundings and good shops, but note some decline. One resident says: "I do think the neighbourhood is going downhill, but the street where I live is still great. Nice neighbours. The shops are good. Public transport is also good. Beautiful green forest in the area." Another comments: "There is too much concentration of problem families in certain blocks of flats... The neighbourhood is reasonably green, but poorly maintained." The area has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents.
For daily errands, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. Jumbo is a ten-minute walk. Schools are close by: De Klimboom (special primary) is a five-minute walk, and RKBS De Bosbouwers and Basisschool De Bosrank are both just around the corner. The municipality Haarlemmermeer offers plenty of green space, with a park just a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Van der Schaaf & Kooijmans Makelaars & Taxateurs and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere is too much concentration of problem families in certain blocks of flats or apartment complexes. Senior housing in the middle of the neighbourhoods is no longer used for that purpose. Now families/refugees? live there. There is no information provided to residents about why and how certain decisions are made. The park is now being completely renovated, but the greenery in the streets is not well maintained, just like the paving itself. There is a big difference in how the various streets look. The Boskern offers a wide range of activities, but they struggle to reach the people. In terms of facilities, there is enough on offer: GP practice, shops, schools, etc. The buses are easily accessible. The neighbourhood is reasonably green, but poorly maintained. The bring parks are dirty and people put things there that are meant for bulky waste. I have lived here for 40 years but feel no sense of community with the neighbourhood.

About Mastbos 130, Hoofddorp
The asking price of €498,000 is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €603,500, which makes it look keen. However, the house is also 26% smaller than the average home in the area (93 m² vs 125 m²). Compared to similar terrace houses in Haarlemmermeer, it's priced competitively, but you're paying for a smaller footprint.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house built in 1985. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as modern homes. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have label A, so this one is less efficient than many nearby.
Hoofddorp Overbos Noord has many families, 870 households with children out of 2,080 homes. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like De Bosbouwers and De Bosrank. Residents mention good shops and green areas, though some note maintenance issues in parts of the neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 5.6 km away, so you'd need a bus or bike to reach it. The area has good bus connections according to residents.
The plot is 123 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden.
Albert Heijn is just 83 metres away, and Vomar is 141 metres, both within a couple of minutes' walk. Jumbo is about 1 km away. For daily groceries, you're well covered.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms.
