About Twijnderslaan 53, Haarlem
The asking price of €1,150,000 is exactly the average price for homes currently for sale in Welgelegen, but well above the neighbourhood median of €799,000. Given the large floor area (188 m²) and plot (229 m²), the price per m² is about €6,117, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,156 per m². So it's priced competitively for its size.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. You can expect moderate energy bills, though improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring it up to a higher label. In the neighbourhood, over 60% of homes have label A or better, so this one is slightly below average in efficiency.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's a bit farther than the city centre, but the quiet residential setting compensates.
There are several schools within walking distance. The Dreefschool (primary) is 490 m away, and De Talenten (primary) is 619 m. For secondary education, Oost ter Hout is 431 m away. All are within a five to ten-minute walk.
Welgelegen has a low crime rate compared to the city average. The total number of recorded crimes in the area is 213, which for a neighbourhood of about 1,900 residents is relatively low. Residents describe it as quiet and safe.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot size of 229 m² suggests there is outdoor space.
