Frequently asked questions
About Generaal Joubertstraat 1A, Haarlem
Is €325,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €325,000 is 29% below the average asking price in the Nelson Mandelabuurt (€455,938). However, this apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (47 m² vs 79 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,915, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,855 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it won't be as efficient as a modern A-label home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: about 29% are C, and 43% are D or lower, so this home sits in the middle of the pack.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach Amsterdam or other cities without needing a car.
What is the neighbourhood like?
The Nelson Mandelabuurt is a very urban area with a high address density (over 4,000 per km²). It's popular with young adults and couples, nearly half the residents are 25 to 45. The housing stock is almost entirely pre-war (built before 1945), giving the streets a classic Haarlem feel. There are no resident reviews available, but the data shows a lively, dense neighbourhood.
Are there supermarkets nearby?
Yes, several. An AH to go is 463 m away (just around the corner), Aldi is 517 m, and Vomar is 543 m. For a full Albert Heijn, you can walk about 700 m. So daily groceries are very convenient.
What schools are close to this home?
The nearest secondary school is ISK Haarlem, just 147 m away. For primary education, the Willem van Oranjeschool is 474 m (a five-minute walk), and Basisschool de Werkschuit is 595 m. There are also several other schools within a short distance.
How old is the building?
The apartment was built in 1906, so it's over a century old. That means high ceilings and classic details, but also that you should expect some maintenance typical of an older home. The entire neighbourhood consists of pre-war buildings, so it's consistent with the area.
