Geneesherenbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 71 m² apartment on Edward Jennerstraat sits in the Geneesherenbuurt, a green part of Haarlem with wide streets and mature trees. Built in 1969 and carrying an energy label B, it's a practical home for someone who wants a manageable space without high running costs. At €350,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €595,000, but that's partly because this flat is 34% smaller than the typical home here. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely in size and price.
Residents have mixed feelings about the area. One calls it "a green residential area with plenty of space" and notes "all amenities within walking distance, close to shops, hospital, doctor and pharmacy. Child-friendly neighbourhood, little traffic." Another is less positive, describing it as "very noisy" and saying "I don't feel safe walking my dog in the dark. Many noisy young people in cars and on motorbikes. Often very dirty with lots of rubbish on the street." Based on two reviews, the average score is 6.62 out of 10. The neighbourhood Geneesherenbuurt is densely populated with 2,735 residents and a high urbanity level, with mostly families and a mix of single-person households.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn and Lidl are both just around the corner, and Dekamarkt is a couple of streets away. Primary school IKC Valeo is on your doorstep, while IKC Schalkwijk and OBS de Globe are a five-minute walk.

About Edward Jennerstraat 328B, Haarlem
The asking price of €350,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €595,000, but this flat is also 34% smaller than the typical home in the area (71 m² vs 108 m²). The price per square metre works out at roughly €4,930, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,509 per m². So it's priced competitively for its size, though the absolute price is modest for Haarlem.
The home has energy label B, which is quite efficient. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as an A-label home. The neighbourhood has 100% of homes with label A+ or better, so this flat is slightly less efficient than the local average, but still well above the national standard.
The neighbourhood recorded 113 crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a densely populated urban area. One resident mentioned not feeling safe walking a dog in the dark due to noise and young people, while another described it as child-friendly with little traffic. It's a mixed picture, so it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel.
The nearest train station is 4.2 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the area has a high density of addresses (3,707 per km²), which typically means good bus connections.
In the Geneesherenbuurt, sold homes took an average of 22 days to sell, which is fairly quick. This suggests reasonable demand, though with only one home currently for sale, the market is thin. The average sold price was €426,000, so this flat is priced below that.
Primary school IKC Valeo is just around the corner (193 m), and IKC Schalkwijk (special primary) is a couple of streets away (376 m). OBS de Globe and Islamitische Basisschool Al Ikhlaas are within a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.4 km away.
