Frequently asked questions

About Jac. van Looystraat 21, Haarlem

Is €450,000 a fair price for this flat?

The asking price of €450,000 works out at about €9,184 per m², which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,454 per m². However, the flat is smaller than most homes in the area (49 m² vs an average of 98 m²). The median price in Van Zeggelenbuurt is €505,000, so this is below that. Given the compact size, the price is on the high side per square metre, but it's a relatively affordable option in a sought-after part of Haarlem.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The energy label is D. That's a fairly average rating for a pre-war home, it means the property is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, nearly 59% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.

How far is the train station?

The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a reasonable distance for commuting to Amsterdam or other cities.

What are the neighbours like?

The Van Zeggelenbuurt has a young, urban population, many residents are between 25 and 45, and there are plenty of single-person households. The one review on Buurtje is negative, but it's just one opinion. The area is lively and diverse, with a mix of families and young professionals.

Are there good schools nearby?

Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. The Martin Luther Kingschool is just 207 m away, and the Sint Bernardusschool is 323 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.2 km away, a 15-minute walk.

What shops are close by?

The nearest supermarket is a Dekamarkt at 289 m, just a few minutes' walk. There's another Dekamarkt at 736 m, and a SPAR express about 1 km away. For daily groceries, you're well covered.

Is the neighbourhood safe?

The neighbourhood recorded 98 total crimes in the latest data. That's a moderate number for a dense urban area. It's always a good idea to check local crime maps for the most recent figures.
