Pieter Maritzstraat 28

A pre-war flat in Haarlem's Transvaalwijk

This 1932 apartment on Pieter Maritzstraat sits in a lively part of Haarlem, where the streets are lined with early 20th-century architecture. At €500,000, the asking price is bang in line with the neighbourhood median, so you're paying a fair market rate for the 84 m² of living space. For context, the average price per m² in De Goede Hoop is €5,648, and this home's price per m² works out to about €5,952, slightly above average, but not out of step given the energy label C and the classic pre-war character. If you're looking at apartments in Haarlem, this one sits right in the middle of the local price range.
