Droogstraat 14A

A cosy apartment in Harlingen's historic heart

This apartment on Droogstraat sits right in the middle of Harlingen's Binnenstad, a neighbourhood full of character. This listing does not state the year of construction. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €235,000, the asking price is 56% below the neighbourhood average of €530,329, which is keen given the smaller floor area of 53 m², typical for apartments in Harlingen.

The Binnenstad neighbourhood

Binnenstad is the historic centre of Harlingen, with narrow streets and old buildings. One resident describes it as 'Cosy, accessible, 5 min from centre', adding that shops and the beach are nearby. The area has a mix of ages, with many older residents and a fair number of singles. Most homes were built before 1945, giving the streets a traditional feel. This is the Binnenstad neighbourhood, where life revolves around the harbour and the town's maritime past.

Life on the street

For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Aldi are a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Openbare basisschool 't Wad and basisschool Sint Michael, are within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. For secondary education, Simon Vestdijk regionale scholengemeenschap is a ten-minute walk. The train station is also a five-minute walk, handy for trips to Leeuwarden or further afield. All this falls within the municipality of Harlingen, a compact city with a strong maritime identity.
