Vijfhoek, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 1780 corner house in the Vijfhoek is a real character property, with an energy label F and a floor area of 59 m². The asking price of €765,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the rarity of this type of home. For a sense of how this compares to other end-of-terrace houses in Haarlem, the price per square metre is above the local norm.

All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner." Another notes: "Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer." The neighbourhood is densely populated, with many singles and a lively, urban feel. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Vijfhoek page.
For groceries, 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 are within a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and restaurants are just around the corner.

De vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice place to live. Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer. The parks are also very nice, I'm there quite often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe needs of a cat or dog are done at my doorstep (which I can't do anything about) and it is never cleaned up.

About Gierstraat 43, Haarlem
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The plot size is 71 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space.
