Binnenstad, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Zijlstraat 54B sits in a street that feels like a film set, cobbles, gables, and a lively buzz just outside your door.

The Binnenstad is Haarlem's historic core, packed with narrow streets, courtyards, and a mix of shops and cafés. One resident describes it as 'cosy... lots of greenery, beautiful street lighting and great to be able to live here'. The area is densely urban, over 5,900 addresses per square kilometre, so you are never far from a restaurant or a park. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the streets hum with a mix of students, professionals, and families. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Binnenstad.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner. A five-minute walk takes you to the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem, a secondary school right on your street. Two primary schools, IKC De Argonauten and Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer, are a couple of streets away. The municipality Haarlem keeps the centre well maintained, and the train station is a ten-minute walk, handy for trips to Amsterdam or the coast.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Maarten van Vliet Makelaars and also appears on Huispedia, so you have two channels to follow up on.
