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 228, Haarlem
The asking price of €359,000 is 60% below the neighbourhood average of €894,133, but the apartment is also 39% smaller than the average home in Bosch en Vaart (91 m² vs 148 m²). Given the energy label E and the 1967 construction year, the price is on the low side compared to other listings, but you are paying for a smaller, older flat in a desirable area.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label A, while 38.5% have label D or lower, so this flat is on the less efficient end of the spectrum.
Bosch en Vaart is a lively area with many young people and amenities, but residents describe it as somewhat anonymous because people move often. It scores 8.3 out of 10 from two reviews. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, and it is very urban with a high density of addresses.
The Coornhert Lyceum secondary school is just 153 metres away, and the Bosch en Hovenschool primary school is 413 metres away. Other nearby schools include Lyceum Sancta Maria and Crayenester-Basisschool, all within a ten-minute walk.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
