De Burgen, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Sandenburg sits in a leafy part of De Burgen, a neighbourhood built in the 1980s.

The asking price of €425,000 is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €366,000, making it the most expensive of the 18 homes currently for sale here, a reflection of its size rather than an overvaluation. For context, apartments in Haarlem typically sell for around €4,449 per m².
De Burgen is a residential area built in the 1970s and 1980s, with wide streets and plenty of green space. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (address density 3,098 per km²) but is calm, with a park just a couple of streets away. Most homes are owner-occupied (89%), and the population is mixed: many single-person households and a fair share of over-65s. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the area is known for its quiet character and proximity to Haarlem's centre. The De Burgen neighbourhood is well served by local amenities.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close by: Pantarijn is on your doorstep, and De Molenwiek Dalton is just around the corner. A GP practice is a five-minute walk away, and the train station is 4.1 km, a short bike ride. The area falls under the municipality of Haarlem, which maintains the green spaces and local facilities well.

About Sandenburg 47, Haarlem
The asking price is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €366,000, making it the most expensive of the 18 apartments currently for sale in De Burgen. However, this apartment is also 29% larger than the local average (108 m² vs 84 m²), so the price per m² is in line with the market. Given the size and energy label C, the price is on the high side but justified by the extra space.
De Burgen is a quiet, green residential area built in the 1980s. It has a strong urban feel with a high address density, but the streets are calm and there is a park just 200 m away. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the population includes many single-person households and older residents. It is a well-maintained neighbourhood with good amenities nearby.
The nearest supermarket is Jumbo at 261 m, just around the corner. SPAR express is 765 m away, and Vomar and Dekamarkt are about 1 km. Albert Heijn is also within a ten-minute walk at 1.1 km. So daily shopping is very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Pantarijn is just 189 m away, De Molenwiek Dalton at 288 m, and De Wijde Wereld at 655 m. Secondary schools are further, at 2.1 km, so older children may need to cycle or take public transport.
The train station is 4.1 km from the apartment. That is about a 15-minute bike ride or a short bus trip.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1980). It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as economical as modern labels A or B. Heating costs will be moderate, but no exact amounts are provided.
The floor area is 108 m², which is spacious for an apartment, but the layout is not described. You would need to view the property to see the room division.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that this is an apartment in a 1980s building, it may have a balcony, but this is not confirmed. The plot size is not provided, so outdoor space cannot be assumed.
