Schrijversbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Gerard Revestraat offers a modern, energy-efficient home in a quiet residential pocket of Haarlem. This listing does not state the year of construction.

At €625,000, the asking price sits 32% above the neighbourhood average of €472,500, which is on the high side, partly explained by the A+ energy label, a feature only 14% of local homes for sale share.
