Schweitzerstraat 164

The asking price of €495,000 is in line with what other mid-terrace homes in Haarlemmermeer are selling for. The house has a good floor area and a decent-sized plot, and the energy label C is average for a home of this age. Without specific market data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced compared to similar listings.

Hoofddorp Pax West is a quiet, family-friendly area with mostly single-family homes and a high rate of owner-occupancy. The streets are calm and green, and there's a good mix of ages, many families with children, but also older residents. Crime is low, and you have a park just around the corner. It's a pleasant, established residential neighbourhood.

The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, which is about a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride. Hoofddorp station offers connections to Amsterdam, Leiden and Schiphol, so commuting is feasible, though you'll need a bike or car for the first leg of the journey.

There are several schools within walking distance. The Eerste Montessorischool is just around the corner (136 m), and the Christelijke Basisschool Vesterhavet is a couple of streets away (403 m). For secondary education, the Kaj Munk College is a five-minute walk (337 m). So if you have school-age children, you're well covered.

The energy label is C, which is average for a house built in 1975. It means the home is reasonably efficient, but you might want to consider improvements like better insulation or double glazing to lower energy bills. The label is based on the current state of the property, so you can expect moderate heating costs.
