Bakenes, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Vroonhof sits in the lively Bakenes neighbourhood, where the streets hum with café life and the smell of fresh bread from nearby bakeries. At 53 m² it's compact but efficient, with an energy label C, reasonable for a 1988 build.

No resident reviews are available for this street, but the neighbourhood Bakenes is known for its mix of history and modern city life.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is on your doorstep and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Two primary schools, Veronica Jenaplanschool and Openbare Basisschool De Kring, are a couple of streets away, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a five-minute walk for secondary education.
