Nachtegaalbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 52 m² apartment on Eksterlaan sits in a lively part of Haarlem, where the streets are lined with pre-war brick buildings and the atmosphere is distinctly urban. The home itself is a first-floor flat with an energy label C, built in 1952, and priced at €332,500. That's a keen price compared to other apartments in Haarlem, especially given the compact, efficient layout.
The neighbourhood Nachtegaalbuurt is a dense, family-friendly neighbourhood with a mix of young professionals and families. One resident sums it up: "No problems with it!", a simple but positive verdict. The area scores a 7.5 out of 10 from that single review. It's a very urban setting (the address density is 2588 per km²), with mostly pre-war flats and houses. The streets are busy but safe, with 53 reported crimes in the area.
Your daily routine here is easy: grab bread at Dekamarkt just around the corner, or walk a couple of streets away to PLUS or Albert Heijn. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool De Dolfijn is a five-minute walk, and the Catholic St Bavo school is just a bit further. The municipality Haarlem has plenty of parks and playgrounds within walking distance, so weekends are sorted too.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hart & Huis Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Funda, so you have a couple of channels to view it.

About Eksterlaan 178, Haarlem
At 52 m², that works out to about €6,394 per m². Without neighbourhood averages to compare against, it's hard to say definitively, but given the energy label C and the central location in Haarlem, it seems in line with what you'd expect for a flat of this size and age.
The energy label is C, which is average for a flat from 1952. You can expect moderate heating costs, not as low as a modern A-label, but not sky-high either. The home likely has some insulation, but you may want to budget for energy bills that are a bit above the newest builds.
The nearest train station is 3.1 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a 35-minute walk. It's not on your doorstep, but the bus connections in the area are good, so commuting by public transport is still feasible.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Openbare Basisschool De Dolfijn is about 350 m away, and the Catholic St Bavo school is around 430 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 0.9 km away, so older kids can walk or cycle easily.
The neighbourhood has 53 reported crimes, which for a dense urban area is relatively low. The single resident review says "No problems with it!", so it seems a safe and pleasant place to live.
Dekamarkt is just 150 m away, perfect for daily shopping. PLUS is 430 m, and Albert Heijn is 550 m, so you have plenty of choice within a short walk.
