A compact apartment in Haarlem's Natuurkundigenbuurt-west
This apartment on Van Leeuwenhoekstraat sits in the Natuurkundigenbuurt-west, a quiet corner of Haarlem's Houtvaartkwartier district. The listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing. Built in 1961, the home offers 47 square metres of living space according to the BAG registration. The asking price of €295,000 is 51% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €602,714, which the market data describes as keen.

The home itself
The apartment is a compact unit, with the living area measured at 47 m². The agent has not provided further details on the layout, such as the number of rooms or bedrooms, nor any information about outdoor space or installations. The year of construction is 1961, a fact that stands on its own without implying anything about the condition. Without more specifics from the listing, the description remains limited to these basics.

WOZ and address data

Railway noise is 53 dB Lden, below the standard, and aircraft noise is 40 dB Lden, also below. The foundation risk indication is medium, as the building dates from before 1970, and the soil type is sand.
