Vijfhoek, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Botermarkt sits right in the heart of the Vijfhoek, one of Haarlem's oldest and most characterful neighbourhoods. The 90 m² home dates from 1880 but has an energy label A, so you get the charm of a historic building without the draughts. At €499,500, the asking price is about 30% below the neighbourhood average of €712,176, which is keen for a home this central. For context, the average price per m² in the Vijfhoek is €7,123, so this one works out at roughly €5,550 per m². You can compare it with other apartments in Haarlem.

One resident says: "Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner." Another notes: "Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer." The neighbourhood has a very high density of 5,770 addresses per km², so it's bustling. Most homes are pre-war (86%), and about half are owner-occupied. It's a mix of singles and couples, with many young adults and middle-aged residents. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Vijfhoek.

De vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice place to live. Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer. The parks are also very nice, I'm there quite often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe needs of a cat or dog are done at my doorstep (which I can't do anything about) and it is never cleaned up.
