Frequently asked questions
About Gierstraat 43, Haarlem
Is €765,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €765,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €712,176 and the median of €607,500. The home is 46% smaller than the average (59 m² vs 109 m²), so the price per square metre is higher. Given the historic character and corner location, the price is on the high side compared to other homes in Vijfhoek.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a house built in 1780.
How is the neighbourhood Vijfhoek?
Vijfhoek is a very central, densely populated neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Residents appreciate that everything is within walking distance, including shops, restaurants, and the water. The area is busy but cosy, with a mix of ages, though many households are single-person. The train station is a ten-minute walk away.
What shops and schools are nearby?
Jumbo is on your doorstep, Dekamarkt just around the corner, and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a five-minute walk, and several primary schools like Veronica Jenaplanschool and Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer are within a ten-minute walk.
How old is the house and what condition is it in?
The house was built in 1780, so it has historic character. The energy label F suggests that insulation and heating may need attention. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some maintenance typical for a home of this age.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The plot size is 71 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space.
