The asking price of €365,000 is 47% below the average asking price in Burgwal (€684,332). However, the apartment is also smaller than average: 49 m² versus 100 m². The price per m² works out to about €7,449, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €7,260 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a bit of a premium per square metre.
Burgwal is the historic centre of Haarlem, with beautiful old streets and buildings. Residents appreciate the charm but note that social contacts have decreased over the years and that cleaning and greenery could be better. It's a very urban area with a high density of addresses, mostly one-person households, and a lively atmosphere.
The train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a fifteen-minute walk. That makes it feasible to commute by train, though you might also cycle or take a bus.
There are several supermarkets within a few hundred metres: Jumbo at 520 m, Vomar at 571 m, Dekamarkt at 574 m, and Albert Heijn at 591 m. All are within a five- to ten-minute walk, so daily shopping is very convenient.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a short while due to homelessness, but it's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do. It's still a city so greenery and housing always remain a bit rubbish, but well, where in the Netherlands don't you have that?
Auto-translated to English by AIDe vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
