Living in Hasselaersbuurt, Haarlem

Hasselaersbuurt is located in the Zijlwegkwartier, southwest of Haarlem city centre.

The housing types consist largely of apartments and single-family homes from the post-war period, supplemented by some more modern buildings. The WOZ values and income level (average €47,900, slightly above the Haarlem average of €42,900) reflect a stable, middle-class to upper-middle-class population composition.

Is renting in Hasselaersbuurt right for you?

Families, dual-income couples and people who consciously choose a neighbourhood with little nuisance and good facilities generally feel at home here.
