Haarlem
Haarlem is among the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands, with a cosy, village-like atmosphere and has a distinct cosmopolitan vibe about it. Think Amsterdam but on a smaller scale – Haarlem has a comparable picturesque old-world charm, with cobbled streets, winding waterways and gabled houses. It’s a lively city of 150,000 residents bursting with culture, nightlife, dining hotspots and some of the best shopping streets in the country.
This vibrant city, with a large international community, attracts young digital businesses and agencies, and with an incredibly strong dining culture and a paradise for shoppers, it’s not surprising that it’s one of the most desirable cities in the Netherlands to call home.
Residential areas in this small city are well-connected to the centre, with local amenities all just a short bike ride away. With the centre of Amsterdam just 15 minutes away by train and North Sea beaches easily reachable by bike, Haarlem is a prime location for residents who want to be close to Amsterdam as well as the beach and countryside.
There are two international schools in Haarlem catering for 3 to 18 year olds and follow the International Baccalaureate programme. The International School of Haarlem and Mendelcollege, which offers bilingual education.
How it Works
Contact us
Contact us and let’s have a chat to understand your most important goals for your relocation to the Netherlands. We can discuss everything from residency permits, schooling etc to home finding – anything that you and your family need to feel confident and happy in your new life here.
Proposal
we’ll then send you a proposal so that you know what the costs are, so you can prepare your budget.
Start process
prior to your arrival we’ll start as much of the process as we can. We’ll help you put together the necessary documents for the admin side of the relocation and tell you what’s needed for renting a home. We store everything according to the terms of the GDPR.
Working together
we can work with you so that you can move straight into your new home on arrival OR we can start viewing together selected properties within your criteria and then take care of the rental offer and contract. All the necessary admin appointments (like your BSN, the IND and bank appointments) will be already set up for you, so that we get this out of the way and your life in the Netherlands begins!
