Willemskade 5

A modern apartment in Harlingen's historic heart

This spacious apartment on Willemskade sits right in the middle of Harlingen's Binnenstad, with the harbour and historic buildings just outside the door. Built in 2011 and with an A energy label, it's a far cry from the older homes that dominate the neighbourhood. At €895,000, the asking price is 69% above the neighbourhood average of €530,329, a premium that reflects the size, modern finish and central location. For context, apartments in Harlingen typically sell for less, so this is on the high side.

Binnenstad: a compact, lively neighbourhood

The Binnenstad is Harlingen's historic centre, with narrow streets, shops and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. One resident describes it as 'Cosy, accessible, 5 min from centre', adding: '5 min. walk from the centre. Shops nearby. Beach nearby.' The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, many over 65, but also a fair share of families and young adults. Most homes are pre-war, and the area has a moderate urban feel (1,273 addresses per km²). This is a place where you can walk to almost everything. Read more about the neighbourhood Binnenstad.

Daily life on the street

For groceries, the Albert Heijn is on your doorstep at just 99 metres, with Aldi and Jumbo a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, basisschool Sint Michael and Openbare basisschool 't Wad, are within a ten-minute walk, and the secondary school Simon Vestdijk is about a ten-minute walk too. The train station is also a five-minute walk, making it easy to head out of town. The municipality Harlingen offers a compact, walkable environment where most daily needs are met within a few hundred metres.
