The asking price of €375,000 is 44% below the average asking price in the Burgwal neighbourhood (€665,028) and also below the median of €485,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (48 m² vs 94 m²). The price per m² works out to about €7,813, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €7,461. Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is F. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label F is the second-lowest rating, so you can expect relatively high energy costs for heating and electricity. In the Burgwal neighbourhood, 17.9% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for older properties in the centre.
Residents rate it highly, with an average score of 7.67 out of 10. One resident says it is a 'Beautiful neighbourhood' and another calls it a 'Lovely little neighbourhood'. Some note that social contacts have decreased over the years, and that cleaning and greenery could be better. It is a very urban area with many singles and couples, and a historic character.
The nearest supermarket, Dekamarkt, is just 163 metres away, so daily groceries are on your doorstep. Albert Heijn and Jumbo are within a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Franciscus Xaveriusschool (366 m) and Veronica Jenaplanschool (377 m). The Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is 821 metres away.

The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short cycle. Haarlem's central station connects to Amsterdam, Leiden and other cities.
Given the compact size (48 m²) and central location, this apartment is likely to appeal to singles or couples without children. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of one-person households (57%) and few families with children (17%). The price is relatively accessible for the city centre, making it a realistic option for first-time buyers or those looking for a pied-à-terre.
At 48 m², this apartment is 49% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 94 m². Most homes in Burgwal are larger, with many pre-war apartments having more generous proportions. The compact size is reflected in the lower asking price, but the price per m² is slightly above average.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Have lived here since 1992, still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing.

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 AII've been living here for a short while due to homelessness, but it's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do. It's still a city so greenery and housing always remain a bit rubbish, but well, where in the Netherlands don't you have that?
Auto-translated to English by AIDe vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
