By lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

About Zandvoorter Allee 118, Haarlem
At €250,000, this apartment is the cheapest home currently for sale in Bosch en Vaart. The neighbourhood average asking price is €894,133, so this listing is 72% below that. However, the floor area is 60 m², which is 59% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 148 m². The price per m² works out at about €4,167, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,954 per m².
