A historic flat in the heart of Haarlem
This apartment on Jansstraat sits in the lively centre of Haarlem, where the streets hum with cafés, shops and daily life. At 59 m² it is compact, but the high ceilings and classic proportions give it a spacious feel. The last known price of €395,000 was notably lower than the neighbourhood average of €803,520, partly because the home was smaller than the typical Bakenes flat.

Bakenes: historic streets, urban energy
Bakenes is one of Haarlem's oldest neighbourhoods, packed with monumental buildings and narrow lanes. It is densely populated, over 5,600 addresses per km², and most homes date from before 1945. The area attracts a mix of students, young professionals and older residents; nearly half of households are single-person. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures speak for themselves: a very urban setting with everything within walking distance.
Daily life on Jansstraat
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and AH to go is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, Openbare Basisschool De Kring and IKC De Argonauten, are a five-minute walk and a ten-minute walk respectively. The Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem, a secondary school, is also a five-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem offers a compact city centre where most amenities are within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Jansstraat 9, Haarlem
Was €395,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price was €395,000, which was 51% below the average asking price in Bakenes (€803,520). However, this apartment is also 51% smaller than the neighbourhood average (59 m² vs 121 m²). On a per-square-metre basis, the price was about €6,695, which was slightly below the neighbourhood average of €7,204 per m². So the price was in line with the market given the size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. That means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it is not as efficient as modern A or B labels. In Bakenes, about 38% of homes have label A, 10% label B, and 21% label C, so this home sits around the middle of the pack.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach Amsterdam, Schiphol or other cities without needing a car.
What is the neighbourhood like for daily shopping?
You have an Albert Heijn just 182 metres away, on your doorstep. There is also an AH to go at 411 metres and a Dekamarkt at 586 metres. For restaurants, the nearest is 0.2 km away, so plenty of options for eating out.
How many homes were for sale in Bakenes?
When this home was at the time on the market, there were 25 homes for sale in Bakenes, with prices ranging from €250,000 to €2,495,000. The median price was €500,000, so this apartment was below the median, reflecting its smaller size.
Is the home suitable for a family?
With 59 m² and one bedroom (typical for an apartment of this size), it was more suited to a single person or a couple. The neighbourhood has few families with children (only 190 out of 1,275 households), and most homes are apartments. Schools are nearby, but the space may be tight for a family.
