Heiliglanden, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits right on Haarlem's main shopping street, with the buzz of the city centre just outside your door. At 45 m² it is compact, but the location is hard to beat.

Heiliglanden is the oldest part of Haarlem, a warren of narrow streets and centuries-old buildings. It is densely populated, with mostly one-person households and a young, active crowd. The neighbourhood has a very strong urban feel (address density 5,720 per km²). There are no resident reviews available for this area, but the figures speak for themselves: a high proportion of pre-war housing and a lively, central atmosphere. For more context, see the Heiliglanden neighbourhood.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully convenient. The Albert Heijn is just 65 metres away, literally on your doorstep, and Ekoplaza and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Dreefschool (primary) is a five-minute walk, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem (secondary) is about a ten-minute walk. The Grote Houtstraat itself is lined with shops, cafés and restaurants, so you rarely need to go far. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Haarlem.
