A classic Haarlem apartment with a keen price
This apartment on the Barendsestraat sits in Rozenprieel-noord, a pocket of Haarlem where the streets feel lived-in and the Spaarne is never far away. Built in 1895, it carries the character of a bygone era, and the asking price of €350,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average of €556,000. The listing does not state the energy label, so that detail is missing from the picture. For context, this is one of 11 homes currently for sale in the area, and it is the least expensive of the lot. If you are weighing up apartments in Haarlem, this one stands out on price alone.
Inside the home
The agent lists this as a three-room apartment with two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single floor.

At €5,833 per m² based on the agent's figure, it is priced below the neighbourhood average of €6,311 per m². The home has been on the market since 28 October 2026, according to the listing.

WOZ and address data
The WOZ value is not stated in the available data, so no comparison with the asking price is possible here. As for the address itself, public risk data gives an area-level indication rather than an inspection of this specific home. The foundation risk is rated medium, partly because the building dates from before 1970, and in this postcode area 88% of properties were built before that year. Noise from road traffic is above the norm at 51 dB Lden, while rail and air traffic stay below their norms. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is elevated, and heat stress is currently medium, both expected to remain so by 2050.
