The WOZ value is set annually by the municipality with 1 January as its reference date, and therefore lags the market by about a year. It is an estimated market value, not a sale price.
About Engelandlaan 246, Haarlem
The asking price is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €383,906, and the floor area (55 m²) is 29% smaller than the local average of 77 m². So the price per square metre works out higher than the neighbourhood median, but the absolute price is relatively low for Haarlem. Whether it's fair depends on how you weigh size versus budget.
The energy label is D. That is the middle of the scale, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. Expect moderate energy costs.
The Landenbuurt is very urban, with a high address density. There's a Vomar supermarket just around the corner, and several schools within a five-minute walk. The one resident review mentions litter as an issue, but also notes that many neighbours are friendly and try to keep things tidy.
The nearest train station is 4 km away, so you'd need a bike or bus to reach it.
No garden or balcony is mentioned in the listing. The plot size is not given either, so it's safe to assume there is no private outdoor space.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.
