NeighbourhoodThis modern apartment on Amerikaweg sits in a lively part of Haarlem, with plenty of greenery around. At 108 m² it's spacious for a rental, and the A+++ energy label means very low heating costs.

For context, this is one of the apartments in Haarlem currently available.

One resident describes it as "a nice neighbourhood" but notes concerns about safety and cleanliness: "I don't think the neighbourhood is very safe because there have been a few burglaries, and it's not very hygienic either because sometimes a plastic bag blows by and there are a lot of cigarette butts on the ground, but otherwise it is hygienic, there is a lot of greenery which is very nice and it is well maintained." Accessibility is good, though a recent road closure has been an issue. This is the neighbourhood Romolenpolder-oost.

I don't think the neighbourhood is very safe because there have been a few burglaries, and it's not very hygienic either because sometimes a plastic bag blows by and there are a lot of cigarette butts on the ground, but otherwise it is hygienic, there is a lot of greenery which is very nice and it is well maintained. Accessibility is also fine, although recently a road was closed for a year.

About Amerikaweg 216, Haarlem
The rent is above the neighbourhood average of €1,863 and the median of €1,925. However, this apartment is larger (108 m²) than the average rental (92 m²) and has an excellent energy label, which typically commands a premium. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and low energy costs.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect very low heating and electricity bills. It's a new-build (2023), so insulation and ventilation are top-notch.
One resident mentions that the neighbourhood is not very safe due to a few burglaries, and cleanliness is an issue with cigarette butts and litter. However, they also note the greenery is well maintained. The total number of crimes reported in the area is 220, but without a per-capita comparison it's hard to judge.
The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd likely need a bus or bike to reach it.
