About Prinses Beatrixplein 2, Haarlem
The asking price is €2,300,000, and the living area is 405 square metres according to the BAG registration. That works out at €5,679 per square metre, based on the BAG area. This is on the high side compared with other apartments in Haarlem, but the final judgement depends on the exact condition and features of the home, which are not detailed in the listing.
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have relatively low energy costs compared with less efficient labels. The label does not say anything about the structural condition of the building, only about its energy performance. The home was built in 1960, but the label reflects the current insulation and heating systems.
The WOZ value is the municipal valuation used for taxes, and it is not always included in property listings. Without this figure, it is not possible to compare the asking price with the official valuation. You would need to check the municipal records for the most recent WOZ value.
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, according to public area-level data. The soil type is peat, and the building dates from 1960, which may mean wooden piles or a shallow foundation. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home. The actual foundation condition can only be determined by a structural survey.
The noise level from road traffic is 56 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch standard. Railway noise is 35 dB Lden and aircraft noise is 43 dB Lden, both below the standard.

The actual noise you experience may vary depending on the time of day and the position of the rooms.

The current flood risk is low, and the risk for 2050 is also low. However, pluvial flooding, which happens when heavy rain overwhelms the drainage system, is indicated as elevated.

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.
