About Eksterlaan 124, Haarlem
At €6,442 per m², this flat is priced above the average for apartments in Haarlem. The energy label F means higher running costs, which may affect the overall value. However, the location in a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with good amenities nearby does add appeal. You can compare with similar listings in the area to see how it stacks up.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home will have higher heating and electricity costs compared to a more modern or better-insulated property. The building dates from 1952, so it likely lacks modern insulation and double glazing. Budget for higher monthly energy bills.
The Dekamarkt is just 80 metres away on foot, so you can pop out for groceries in under a minute. There's also a PLUS at 350 metres and an Albert Heijn at 470 metres, giving you plenty of choice within a short walk.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Dolfijn (300 m), Rooms-katholiek Basisschool St Bavo (390 m), and Koningin Emmaschool (480 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 0.9 km away. There are also childcare options at 300 metres.
The nearest train station is 3.1 km from the flat. That's about a 40-minute walk or a short bus ride. If you commute by train regularly, you'll likely want a bike or bus connection.
The Nachtegaalbuurt is a calm, family-oriented area with mostly owner-occupied homes. It scores 7.5 out of 10 from residents, who report no problems.
