I've been living here for a short while due to homelessness, but it's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do. It's still a city so greenery and housing always remain a bit rubbish, but well, where in the Netherlands don't you have that?

About Kenaupark 16, Haarlem
The asking price of €2,400,000 is significantly above the neighbourhood average of €986,107. However, this home is much larger than typical properties in Stationsbuurt, 495 m² versus an average of 151 m². Detached houses are rare here, and the location on Kenaupark is prime. Whether it's fair depends on how you value the space and the monumental character.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, and you can expect high heating costs. The house was built in 1870, so it likely has single glazing and poor insulation. In the neighbourhood, 56% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for older properties.
