A grand apartment on the Zijlweg
This is a strikingly spacious apartment on the Zijlweg, in the heart of Haarlem's Garenkokerskwartier. With 401 m² of floor area, it is a home of unusual proportions, set in a building from 1890 that carries the character of its era. The energy label is A, which is the most efficient rating. At €2,000 per month, the rent sits well below the average for rental homes in this neighbourhood, and it is also a keen price when you consider the size of the space. For context, the average rental in the area is €2,750, and the average floor area is 100 m², so this home is both larger and more affordable than the norm. It is one of a limited number of apartments in Haarlem currently available to rent.
