Haarlemmermeer is a polder municipality of villages, with Hoofddorp as its main town and Schiphol inside its borders, so the right studio depends first on which village fits your commute.

Studios in Haarlemmermeer are spread over several villages rather than one city centre, and each village links to a different job market. Pick the village by your daily trip first, then compare listings.

Hoofddorp is the largest town of Haarlemmermeer and the seat of the town hall, with a train station on the line through Schiphol, a shopping centre and stops of the Zuidtangent bus. A studio in Hoofddorp suits singles and starters without a car, since the airport, Amsterdam and the shops are reachable without one. Expect the widest choice of studios here, as Hoofddorp is by far the biggest village.

Nieuw-Vennep, the second village of Haarlemmermeer, has its own station on the line between Schiphol and Leiden, and the large newer district of Getsewoud. It suits studio renters who work or study towards Leiden as well as Schiphol, and who prefer a calmer village to Hoofddorp's centre. The studio choice is smaller than in Hoofddorp, so set an alert and reply fast.

Badhoevedorp lies in the north east of Haarlemmermeer, between Schiphol and Amsterdam Nieuw-West, and has no train station. It suits airport staff and Amsterdam workers who cycle or take the bus and want a village address close to the city. Parts of Haarlemmermeer lie under Schiphol flight paths, so visit a studio here at a busy hour before you sign.
