AI summary

A historic flat in the heart of Haarlem

This 1880 apartment on the Korte Begijnestraat sits right in the middle of the lively Oude Stad. With 85 m² of living space, it's compact but full of character, think high ceilings and classic details. The energy label G means heating costs will be significant, so budget accordingly. At €498,000, the asking price is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €803,520, which is keen given the smaller floor area. For context, flats in Haarlem vary widely in price and condition.

Frequently asked questions

About Korte Begijnestraat 1, Haarlem

Is €498,000 a fair price for this apartment?

The asking price is 38% below the average asking price in Bakenes (€803,520), but the apartment is also 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average (85 m² vs 121 m²). The median asking price in the area is €500,000, so this flat is priced in line with the market for its size. The energy label G is a downside, as most homes in the area have better labels.

What is the energy label G likely to mean for costs?

Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor insulation and high energy consumption. You can expect significant heating bills, especially in winter. The neighbourhood has only 6.9% A+ labels and 37.9% A labels, so this home is at the bottom end of efficiency. Budget for higher monthly energy costs compared to a modern home.

How is the public transport connection from Korte Begijnestraat?

The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct access to regional and national rail connections. The high urban density (5,666 addresses per km²) means public transport is well developed in the area.

What is the neighbourhood like for families?

Bakenes has a relatively small share of families: only 190 households with children out of 1,320 total. The average household size is 1.6, and 775 are single-person households. There are primary and secondary schools within walking distance (0.7 km), but the area is more popular with singles and couples than with families.

How does the floor area compare to other apartments in the area?

At 85 m², this apartment is 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 121 m² for homes for sale. It's a compact two-bedroom (assuming typical layout), which is common for historic centre apartments. The price per m² works out to about €5,859, below the neighbourhood average of €7,204 per m².

What is the crime rate like in Bakenes?

The neighbourhood recorded 460 total crimes in the latest data. Given the population of 2,040, that's a rate of about 225 per 1,000 residents, which is relatively high. However, city centres often have more incidents due to shops, bars, and crowds. It's worth considering if you prefer a quieter area.
