Geneesherenbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Halbertsmastraat sits in a leafy part of Haarlem, with mature trees lining the streets and a relaxed, spacious feel. At 114 m² with a 131 m² plot, it offers a good amount of room for a family or couple. The energy label is E, which is worth noting because most other homes for sale in the neighbourhood have a better rating. Priced at €550,000, it is on the high side compared to the average sold price of €426,000 in the area, but it's a corner house, a type that's relatively scarce. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Haarlem tend to command a premium.

About Halbertsmastraat 49, Haarlem
The asking price of €550,000 is above the average sold price of €426,000 in the Geneesherenbuurt, but that average includes all property types. Corner houses are less common and often sell for more. The price per m² works out at about €4,825, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,509 per m² for current listings. So while the total price is high, the square-metre price is actually competitive.
The home has energy label E. This means it is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the Geneesherenbuurt, all other homes currently for sale have a label of A+ or better, so this property stands out as less efficient. It may be worth budgeting for potential improvements.
Opinions are mixed. One resident calls it child-friendly with little traffic and plenty of space, while another mentions noise and safety concerns. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area has a park nearby. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and singles, with about 39% of households having children.
You have a Lidl supermarket just around the corner (396 m), and Albert Heijn and Dekamarkt within a five-minute walk. Several primary schools are within 300 m, and a secondary school is 1.4 km away. A park or public garden is a couple of streets away (300 m), and there's a restaurant within 1 km. The train station is 4.2 km away, so a car or bike is handy for longer trips.
In the Geneesherenbuurt, sold homes took an average of 22 days to sell. That's fairly quick, suggesting reasonable demand. With only one home currently for sale in this price range, competition might be limited, but the unique character of this corner house could attract interest.
The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, but the plot size of 131 m² suggests there is outdoor space. As a corner house, it likely has a garden on at least one side.
