Vijfhoek, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 1885 apartment on the Gedempte Oude Gracht sits right in the heart of the Vijfhoek, one of Haarlem's most atmospheric neighbourhoods. With 77 m² of living space and an energy label C, it's a compact but well-kept home. The asking price of €355,000 is notably keen compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because the apartment is smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely in size and price.
The Vijfhoek is a small, friendly neighbourhood where people know each other. Based on three reviews, residents give it an 8.25 out of 10.

Another notes: "Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer." The area is densely built and very urban, with mostly pre-war housing and a mix of singles and couples. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Vijfhoek page.
Your morning bread run is a 29-metre walk to the Jumbo, and there's a Dekamarkt just around the corner. For secondary school, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a couple of streets away, while primary schools like Veronica Jenaplanschool are a five-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem offers plenty of cultural and leisure options, with restaurants and a library within a few hundred metres.

Very good · 3 residents
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.
