About Spaarne 50B, Haarlem
The rent of €2,500 is above the neighbourhood average of €2,258 and the median of €2,350. However, the apartment has an A++ energy label, which is exceptional for a 1890 building, and the location on the Spaarne is one of the most desirable in Haarlem. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value energy efficiency and a prime historic setting.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is very energy-efficient, with low heating and electricity costs expected. For a building from 1890, this is unusual and suggests significant modernisation has been done, such as high-quality insulation and efficient heating systems.
The Binnenstad is very compact and walkable. A large supermarket is just around the corner, and there are several others within a five-minute walk. Restaurants, a library and a park are all within a few minutes' walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, making it easy to reach Amsterdam or Schiphol.
Haarlem's central station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there, trains run frequently to Amsterdam, Leiden and beyond.
At 73 m², the apartment offers a good amount of space for one or two people. The exact layout is not described in the listing, but the size is typical for a two-bedroom apartment in this area. The neighbourhood has many singles and couples, so it fits the local demographic.
