Gedempte Schalk Burgergracht 3A

The asking price of €525,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €495,444 and the median of €500,000. However, at 104 m² it's larger than the average sold home (90 m²), so the price per m² (€5,048) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €5,648. That makes it a reasonable asking price for a pre-war apartment of this size in central Haarlem.

This apartment has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a pre-war building. Label D means moderate energy efficiency, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but it's not the worst. The exact costs depend on usage and the heating system.

De Goede Hoop has a mix of households: about 355 with children and 310 without, plus many singles. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Willem van Oranjeschool (359 m) and Openbare Basisschool De Cirkel (534 m). Parks are nearby, and the area is very urban with all amenities close by. It's a lively, dense neighbourhood that suits families who want city life.

The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to Amsterdam, Leiden and beyond. The high address density (3,665 per km²) means public transport is well developed in this part of Haarlem.

In the past period, 81 homes were sold in the neighbourhood, with an average listing time of 26 days. That's relatively quick, indicating a active market. The number of homes for sale (27) is modest compared to sales, so demand is healthy. This apartment's price and size should attract interest.

For an apartment in a pre-war building, it typically covers maintenance of common areas, building insurance and possibly a reserve fund. You would need to check the VvE documents for the exact amount.
