Geneesherenbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on William Harveystraat sits in the Geneesherenbuurt, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a city district. With 95 m² of living space and a C energy label, it's a solid, no-nonsense home from 1962. At €400,000, the asking price is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of €595,000, making it a keen option for buyers looking for value in Haarlem. For context, apartments in Haarlem vary widely, but this one stands out for its price.
The neighbourhood Geneesherenbuurt is a green residential area with wide streets and plenty of parking. One resident calls it "a green residential area with plenty of space" and notes that all amenities are within walking distance. Another paints a different picture: "Very noisy. Unhelpful and unfriendly. I don't feel safe walking my dog in the dark." With only two reviews, it's a neighbourhood that clearly divides opinion. The area is home to many families and has a strong sense of community, though some feel more could be done to keep the streets clean and safe.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: IKC Schalkwijk is on your doorstep, and OBS de Globe is a short walk. The municipality Haarlem offers plenty of parks and green spaces, with a park or public garden just a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute drive, but the neighbourhood itself is well served by local shops and services.

About William Harveystraat 38, Haarlem
The asking price of €400,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €595,000 for similar properties. Given that the average sold price in the area is €426,000, this home is priced keenly. The 95 m² floor area and C energy label are in line with what you'd expect for a 1962 apartment in this part of Haarlem.
The Geneesherenbuurt is a green, spacious residential area with wide streets and plenty of parking. Residents appreciate the proximity to shops, a hospital, and schools. However, some find it noisy and feel unsafe at night, with reports of litter and anti-social behaviour. It's a mixed bag, so visiting at different times of day is a good idea.
Lidl is just 214 metres away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. Albert Heijn is about 500 metres, and Dekamarkt is 556 metres. For daily groceries, you're well covered within a short stroll.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. IKC Schalkwijk is just 91 metres away, OBS de Globe is 158 metres, and IKC Valeo is 260 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.4 km away.
The nearest train station is 4.2 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike or bus to reach it.
Energy label C means the apartment has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency. It's not the most modern, but it's far from the worst. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of newer builds, but this home's label is typical for its age.
