Kleverpark-noord, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 2023-built apartment on Meester Cornelisstraat sits in Kleverpark-noord, a neighbourhood that one resident describes as 'from working-class to yuppie, complete with cargo bikes and conversations that contain more English words than Dutch.' At €2,030 per month for 79 m², the price is in line with the market, the neighbourhood average for rentals is €2,180, and the median is €2,050. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely, but this one is competitively placed.
Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the positive diversity and convenience. One says: 'Fine place to stay, supermarkets close by, 15-minute walk to the station, and you can separate waste nearby.' The downsides? 'Very little parking space and narrow streets, plus shops closing at 8 or 9 pm is a bit early.' The area is densely urban (3,666 addresses per km²) and home to a mix of families and singles. The neighbourhood Kleverpark-noord has a strong sense of change, with new arrivals and long-term locals side by side.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Two schools are a couple of streets away: Openbare Basisschool Ter Cleeff and Spaarne College, both within a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park or garden is just around the corner. The municipality Haarlem keeps the area well-served, with a GP and restaurants also within easy reach.

Positive. Through urban renewal we moved from a working-class neighbourhood where we lived very cosily to the Kleverpark. A neighbourhood for the better class. We've now lived here for over 30 years and see the area changing into a real yuppie neighbourhood. Complete with cargo bikes and conversations that contain more English words than Dutch.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is fine. I think it's positive that you can separate waste nearby, there are supermarkets close by and you're a 15-minute walk from the station. Some downsides are that there is very little parking space and the streets are narrow, making parking difficult and you have to stop for oncoming traffic. Also, the shops closing at 8, sometimes 9 o'clock, I find a bit too early. I don't really have any complaints about the area, this is my first home away from my parents, and I'm quite happy with the setting.

About Meester Cornelisstraat 137, Haarlem
Yes, it's in line with the market. The average rental in Kleverpark-noord is €2,180 and the median is €2,050, so this 79 m² apartment at €2,030 is priced competitively. New-build energy label A also keeps running costs low.
Kleverpark-noord is a densely urban area in transition. One resident calls it a 'yuppie neighbourhood' with cargo bikes and English conversations, while another highlights the convenience of nearby supermarkets and the station. Parking is tight, and shops close early, but the diversity and location are positives.
The train station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That's a comfortable distance for daily commuting.
Dekamarkt is just 123 metres away, and Albert Heijn is 246 metres, both within a couple of minutes' walk. Coop is a bit further at 674 metres.
Residents mention that parking is limited and streets are narrow, so finding a spot can be tricky. The listing does not include a parking space, so you would need to rely on street parking.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. That means low heating and electricity costs, typical for a new-build from 2023.
