Potgieterbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Amsterdamsevaart sits in a bustling part of Haarlem, with shops and cafés just around the corner. At 51 m² it's compact, but the 2002 build means good insulation and a B energy label. The asking price of €349,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €580,000, partly because the home is smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely in size and price.
