A classic Haarlem apartment on a leafy street
This apartment on Wagenweg sits in the heart of the Koninginnebuurt, a sought-after pocket of Haarlem. At 81 m² it's a manageable size, and the 1894 building gives it period charm. The last known asking price of €475,000 was 55% below the neighbourhood average of €1,056,115, which was keen for the area, partly because the floor area was smaller than the local norm. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely in price and size. This home has not been online since 10 August 2026.
