Droogstraat 14B

A compact apartment in Harlingen's historic heart

This apartment on Droogstraat sits right in the middle of Harlingen's Binnenstad, a neighbourhood full of character. The 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 €245,000, the asking price is 54% below the neighbourhood average of €530,329, which is partly explained by the compact 47 m² floor area, 72% smaller than the local average. For context, this is one of the more affordable apartments in Harlingen.

The Binnenstad neighbourhood

Binnenstad is the historic core of Harlingen, with narrow streets and a mix of old buildings. It has around 3,420 residents, many of whom live alone, the average household size is 1.7. The population is older, with a third aged 65 or over. One resident describes it as "Cosy, accessible, 5 min from centre", adding that shops and the beach are nearby. The neighbourhood has a moderate urban feel (address density 1,273 per km²). This is the Binnenstad neighbourhood, a place where daily life revolves around the compact centre.

Life on the street

For your morning bread or groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Jumbo and Aldi a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: basisschool Sint Michael and Openbare basisschool 't Wad. For secondary education, Simon Vestdijk regionale scholengemeenschap is a ten-minute walk. The train station is also a five-minute walk, making it easy to head out of town. This is all part of the municipality of Harlingen, a coastal town with a working harbour and a lively centre.
