Schalkwijk
Haarlem
Haarlem-Schalkwijk is a district that lies on the southeast side of Haarlem. Schalkwijk is a true post-war neighborhood.
It is home to about 35,000 people and covers about 25% of the total area of Haarlem (with a total population of about 250,000). Most of the homes were built in the 1960s in response to the housing shortage of the time. Approximately 60% of the residents of this district are of native parentage. There is an excellent public transport connection through the ‘Zuidtangent’ to Schiphol, Hoofddorp and Amsterdam Zuidoost.
Schalkwijk consists of 4 sub-neighborhoods, namely: Europa district, Boerhaave district, Meerwijk and Molenwijk.
