Haarlemmermeer is well connected, but not every village in the same way: Hoofddorp and Nieuw-Vennep have train stations on the line between Schiphol and Leiden, while Badhoevedorp and Zwanenburg rely on buses and the car. The A4 and A9 motorways cross the municipality, and the Zuidtangent, a dedicated bus lane, links Haarlem, Hoofddorp and Schiphol. The polder is flat, so cycling to work in the region is a real option for many commuters from a Haarlemmermeer house.

From Haarlemmermeer, Amsterdam is reached by train from Hoofddorp or Nieuw-Vennep via Schiphol, or by car on the A4 or A9. Badhoevedorp borders Amsterdam Nieuw-West, which gives it the shortest trip into the city. A house for rent in Badhoevedorp or Hoofddorp is the classic choice for Amsterdam workers who want a garden.

Haarlemmermeer has no direct train to Haarlem, so commuters to Haarlem take the Zuidtangent bus or cycle. If you would rather live on the Haarlem side of the Ringvaart, compare houses in Heemstede, right next to Haarlem.

Trains from Hoofddorp and Nieuw-Vennep run south to Leiden, with connections to Den Haag. That makes Nieuw-Vennep a practical base for couples where one partner works in Amsterdam and the other in Leiden or Den Haag.

The average Haarlemmermeer house rents for €2,432 a month against €2,881 in Haarlem, so renting in the polder saves about €449 a month, or more than €5,300 a year. The price of that saving is the commute, especially if you work in Haarlem without a direct train.
