About Slachthuisstraat 39ZW, Haarlem
At €350,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Kruistochtbuurt and 37% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €557,900. However, the floor area of 64 m² is 26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 86 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the local market. Given the compact size, the price is keen for the area.
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not as well insulated as newer builds. Heating costs will be moderate, but you may want to consider improvements over time. In the neighbourhood, 44% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
Kruistochtbuurt is ideal for young professionals, the largest age group is 25 to 45, and many households are singles or couples without children. The area is very urban with a high address density, so there's plenty of activity. Restaurants and a park are within a five-minute walk, and the city centre is easily reachable.
Primary school De Talenten is just 200 metres away, and the Franciscus Xaveriusschool is about 500 metres. For secondary education, the Eerste Christelijk Lyceum (including an international school) is 424 metres away, and Haarlem College is 584 metres. All are within a comfortable walking distance.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km from the home, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Haarlem's central station offers direct connections to Amsterdam, Leiden, and other major cities.
Dekamarkt is just 311 metres away, SPAR express is 435 metres, and Vomar is 517 metres. All three are within a five- to seven-minute walk, making daily shopping very convenient.
At 64 m², this apartment is compact and best suited for a single person or a couple. The neighbourhood has some families (about 340 households with children), but the home itself does not have multiple bedrooms or outdoor space listed, so it may not be ideal for a family with children.
