The living environment:
It is pleasant to live in the Vogelenbuurt, one of the smaller neighborhoods in Haarlem. There is pleasant social contact between the residents, mainly families, with an eye for everyone's privacy. It is a safe and secure place to live, especially for children who like to play on the wide sidewalks and various squares. In the residential area itself there are many facilities especially for families. The Koningin Emmaschool is very well regarded and “HERO” offers childcare and after-school care. There is also no shortage of play areas, on the green square "Dietsveld" children can romp, climb and trampolinize and the DVS playground provides slides, climbing frames and a corner with a sandbox for the little ones.

Fancy a walk? The nearby “Schoterbos” is a beautiful walking spot with, among other things, the Schoterhoeve petting zoo, the Artis classroom zoo, fitness equipment and water features. The house is located practically next to the protected nature reserve De Hekslootpolder and a 5-minute bike ride from the Westbroekerplas swimming water with the cozy restaurant "Villa Westend", the Spaarnwoude recreational area and the village of Spaarndam. If you cycle west, you will be in the dunes within 15 minutes. Spaarndam is also easy to reach and is a 5-minute bike ride away. A visit to the picturesque village of Spaarndam is also definitely worthwhile. Supermarket Deka-XL is located on Planetenlaan, as is a library, swimming pool, sports fields and various schools. But the nearby shopping center on Marsmanplein also offers a wide range of shops (including Albert Heijn, Plus, Kruidvat, Blokker, Hema, etc.)

You can park here for free and the various arterial roads are easily accessible, the nearby Schoterbrug provides a direct connection to the A9 and the Randweg (N208) towards Heemskerk and Alkmaar are also nearby.
