A classic Haarlem apartment
This apartment on Saenredamstraat sits in the Frans Halsbuurt, a street with the calm, settled feel of old Haarlem. Built in 1900, it has the high ceilings and character you would expect from a home of that era, and the energy label B means it runs efficiently for its age. At €2,350 a month, the rent sits about 20% above the neighbourhood average of €1,952, so it is on the high side for the area. For context, that is in line with the upper end of what apartments in Haarlem typically go for.
