Centrum, Baarn
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Parkstraat sits right in the centre of Baarn, a town with a village feel. At 77 m² it's compact but well laid out, and the 1955 build gives it sturdy bones. The asking price of €359,500 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, 44% below the €646,404 average, partly because the flat is smaller than the typical home here. If you're looking for flats in Baarn, this is one of the more affordable options.
The Centrum neighbourhood is a lively mix of shops, cafés and homes. With 1,825 residents, it's fairly dense, 2,397 addresses per km², and many households are singles (620 out of 1,075). One resident sums it up: "It's a fine neighbourhood, not very special or very good, but certainly not bad." The area has a good share of older housing stock: 39% of homes were built before 1945, and 27% have an energy label D or lower. Incomes are average for the region, and the streets are busy with a mix of ages.
Your daily routine is well covered here. For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, Aldi is a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: the Amalia Astroschool is on your doorstep, and the Koningin Wilhelmina School is a short stroll. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the centre of Baarn with its restaurants and library is just a few minutes away. The municipality of Baarn offers a pleasant mix of urban amenities and green surroundings.
