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. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.

About Lange Herenvest 20A, Haarlem

The floor area of 73 m² is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 100 m², so the price per square metre is relatively high. It's a premium for the location in the historic centre.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 22% of homes have label D or lower, while 14.6% have A or A+. Label D means moderate insulation, so heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home. The listing does not specify the exact insulation measures.
