A classic Haarlem apartment with character
This apartment on Wagenweg sits in a stately pre-war building, with high ceilings and original details that give it a sense of history. At 67 m² it's compact but well laid out, and with an energy label C it's reasonably efficient for a home from 1919. The last known asking price of €395,000 was keen compared to the neighbourhood average of over a million, though the floor area was smaller than typical for the area. For context, this is one of the more affordable apartments in Haarlem. This home has not been online since 8 July 2026.

Three residents have reviewed the area, giving it an average score of 7.2 out of 10. One resident says: "Drug dealing, setting off fireworks, noisy parties, parking on the pavement, cargo bike terror, damp damage and a municipality that completely ignores its residents.

So while the area has its charms, it's not without its frustrations. This is the Koninginnebuurt neighbourhood.
