Koninginnebuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Wagenweg sits in the leafy Koninginnebuurt, a stone's throw from the Haarlemmerhout park. At 67 m² it's compact, but the 1919 bones give it character. The price of €395,000 is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €1,056,115, partly because it's much smaller than the typical home here. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely in size and price.
The neighbourhood Koninginnebuurt is one of Haarlem's most desirable areas, with wide streets and grand old trees. It's densely populated (4,428 addresses per km²) and very urban. Most homes are pre-war (85%), and 70% are owner-occupied. Residents give it a 7.2 out of 10, but opinions differ. One review calls it "good" (8.8). Another is scathing: "Drug dealing, setting off fireworks, noisy parties, parking on the pavement, cargo bike terror, damp damage and a municipality that completely ignores its residents. You wouldn't expect it in the most expensive neighbourhood of Haarlem, but it's an everyday occurrence." That's based on three reviews, so take it as one voice.
For groceries, Ekoplaza and Vomar are just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Primary school Obs Bos en Vaart is a couple of streets away, and the International School Haarlem is also within walking distance. The municipality Haarlem manages the city's parks and public spaces, the Haarlemmerhout is on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Lokaal Makelaardij, Funda and Pararius.
