Geneesherenbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 95 m² apartment on William Harveystraat sits in the Geneesherenbuurt, a green residential area with wide streets and plenty of parking. Built in 1962 and with energy label C, it offers a solid base in a quiet corner of the city. At €375,000, the asking price is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €595,000, partly because this is the only apartment currently for sale in the area. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely, but this one stands out for its size and setting.
The neighbourhood Geneesherenbuurt gets mixed reviews from residents. One calls it "a green residential area with plenty of space" and appreciates the old trees, ample parking, and amenities within walking distance, shops, hospital, doctor, and pharmacy. Another describes it as "very noisy" and says they don't feel safe walking the dog after dark, citing loud young people in cars and on motorbikes, plus litter on the streets. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood clearly has two sides. CBS data shows it's densely populated (3,707 addresses per km²) with a mix of families and singles, and most homes were built between 1945 and 1970.
For groceries, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away, both handy for daily shopping. Families have several schools nearby: IKC Schalkwijk is on your doorstep, OBS de Globe is a couple of streets away, and IKC Valeo is also within easy reach. The municipality Haarlem offers a park or public garden just a couple of streets away, perfect for a quick break. The train station is 4.2 km away, so you'd rely on a bike or bus for longer journeys.
