Frequently asked questions

About Van Oosten de Bruijnstraat 211, Haarlem

Is €300,000 a fair price for this apartment?

At €300,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the seven homes currently for sale in the Geschiedschrijversbuurt. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €714,071, so this home is priced 58% below that. However, it is also smaller than average (53 m² vs 107 m²) and has an E energy label, which explains the lower price. Compared to the average price per m² of €6,530, this home is priced at about €5,660 per m², making it a relatively affordable option in the area.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to homes with better labels. In the Geschiedschrijversbuurt, 81.8% of homes for sale have an A+ label, so this apartment stands out as less efficient. It may be worth considering improvements like insulation or double glazing, but the listing does not specify what is already in place.

How is the neighbourhood for daily life?

Residents describe the Geschiedschrijversbuurt as "a nice and cosy neighbourhood" with "all amenities very close by." There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including Vomar, Aldi, and Albert Heijn. Schools are also nearby, with the International School Haarlem and Obs Bos en Vaart within walking distance. The area is highly urban, with a high density of addresses, so everything you need is close at hand.

What is the public transport situation?

The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. The listing does not mention specific bus lines, but given the high urbanity of the area (3,709 addresses per km²), it is likely that bus stops are within walking distance. For a precise route, you can check local transport maps.

How does the size compare to other homes in the area?

At 53 m², this apartment is 50% smaller than the average home for sale in the Geschiedschrijversbuurt, which has an average floor area of 107 m². The neighbourhood has a mix of single-family homes (59%) and apartments, so this is a compact option. It is suitable for a single person or a couple, but may feel tight for a family.

What is the crime rate like in the neighbourhood?

The CBS data records 207 total crimes in the area, but without a per-capita figure or comparison, it is hard to judge. The neighbourhood has a mix of residents, and the reviews are positive, with one resident calling it "pleasant and cosy." For specific safety concerns, you can check local crime maps or ask the agent.
