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.

About Lange Herenvest 128D, Haarlem
The asking price of €375,000 is 45% below the Burgwal neighbourhood average of €684,332. However, the apartment is also 40% smaller than the average home in the area (60 m² vs 100 m²). Given its central location, historic character, and energy label A, the price is keen compared to other listings in the neighbourhood.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are likely to be low, and the home meets modern insulation standards. In Burgwal, only 14.6% of homes have label A or better, so this is a strong point for a 1890 building.
