About Rijksstraatweg 86C, Haarlem
The asking price is €500,000, which is slightly below the average sold price in the Weltevredenbuurt (€524,500) but above the median (€587,000). Given the 102 m² floor area and energy label C, the price per m² works out to about €4,902, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €7,116 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size.
The Weltevredenbuurt is a quiet, family-friendly area with many pre-war homes. It has a high proportion of families with children (340 households) and a low crime rate (64 total offences). The area is very urban (address density 3,624 per km²) but still feels green, with a park 700 metres away.
Haarlem's main train station is 2.3 km away, about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. From there, trains run frequently to Amsterdam, Leiden, and other cities.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Liduinaschool (250 m), Vrije School Kennemerland (343 m), and Dr H Bavinckschool (436 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1 km away.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home built in 1920. It means the property is reasonably well-insulated but not as efficient as modern homes. Heating costs will be moderate.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's likely this apartment does not have private outdoor space.
