Burgwal, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Lange Herenvest sits in the historic heart of Haarlem, where the streets are lined with 19th-century architecture and the atmosphere is unmistakably city-centre. At 49 m² it is compact, but the energy label A means low heating costs, a rare combination in a building from 1890. The asking price of €347,500 is 49% below the neighbourhood average of €684,332, which is partly explained by the smaller floor area. For comparison, other apartments in Haarlem in this price bracket tend to be smaller or less efficient.
The neighbourhood Burgwal is the old part of the city, with narrow streets and a mix of shops and homes. Residents give it a 7.67 out of 10 based on five reviews. One resident says: "Have lived here since 1992, still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing." Another adds: "Lovely neighbourhood to live in, old part of the city. Cleaning and greenery leave something to be desired." The area is densely populated, 5,664 addresses per km², and mostly consists of single-person households (815 out of 1,440). Many homes date from before 1945 (83%), so this apartment's age is typical for the street.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, and Vomar is just around the corner. The Veronica Jenaplanschool is a couple of streets away, and the Franciscus Xaveriusschool is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem keeps the city centre well served, with a GP and a childcare centre both just around the corner. A park or garden is a five-minute walk away, and the train station is a fifteen-minute walk.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years, nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.
