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.

About Spaarne 71A, Haarlem
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.
