A green residential area with many beautiful old trees, plenty of space in the streets, sufficient parking. All amenities within walking distance, close to shops, hospital, doctor and pharmacy. Child-friendly neighbourhood, little traffic.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery noisy. Unhelpful and unfriendly. I don't feel safe walking my dog in the dark. Many noisy young people in cars and on motorbikes. Often very dirty with lots of rubbish on the street. More enforcement. Clean the area more often. Encourage residents to be more community-minded. Organise social events in the neighbourhood.

About Robert Kochlaan 144, Haarlem
The asking price is €325,000, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €595,000. However, this apartment is 64 m², while the average home in the area is 108 m². The price per square metre works out at about €5,078, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,509 per m². So it is priced slightly below the local rate per square metre.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs. All other homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood have label A+ or better, so this one is less efficient than the local norm.
The nearest train station is 4.2 km away. That is a ten-minute drive or a longer cycle. Public transport within the neighbourhood is not detailed in the listing.
Opinions vary. One resident calls it "child-friendly" with "little traffic" and amenities within walking distance. Another mentions noise and feeling unsafe at night. The area has many families: about 445 households have children, and there are several primary schools within a short walk.
The floor area is 64 m², but the layout is not specified.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it is unclear whether there is any private outdoor space.
In the Geneesherenbuurt, sold homes took an average of 22 days to sell. That is a fairly quick turnaround, suggesting reasonable demand.
