Vijfhoek, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Gedempte Oude Gracht sits right in the middle of Haarlem's historic centre. With 113 m² of living space, it's generous for a city-centre home. The energy label A means it's efficient to heat, which is a bonus in a building from 1880. At €2,300 per month, the rent is 18% below the neighbourhood average of €2,809, so it's keenly priced compared to other apartments in Haarlem.
Vijfhoek is a lively, close-knit part of the Oude Stad. One resident says: "Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another." Another notes: "Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer." A third mentions that "the needs of a cat or dog are done at my doorstep", a small downside in an otherwise well-loved area. The neighbourhood scores an 8.25 out of 10 from three reviews. It's densely populated, with mostly smaller households, and the neighbourhood Vijfhoek has a very urban feel.
For daily shopping, the Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. The Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a five-minute walk, and there are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer.

De vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice place to live. Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer. The parks are also very nice, I'm there quite often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe needs of a cat or dog are done at my doorstep (which I can't do anything about) and it is never cleaned up.
