About Laurens Reaellaan 20III, Haarlem
The asking price of €375,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €862,333, and it's the cheapest of the six homes currently for sale in De Krim.

So the price is keen, but reflects the smaller size and lower energy rating.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label.
