The Bakenes neighbourhood
Bakenes is one of Haarlem's oldest quarters, a compact pocket of narrow streets and canal-side houses just north of the Grote Markt. With 2,085 residents, it is a small community, and the figures show a mix of ages: 37% are between 25 and 45, while 19% are 65 or older. Single-person households dominate at 61%, which fits the central, apartment-heavy character of the area. The housing stock is mostly rental, with 41% owner-occupied, and the streets have a lively, urban rhythm rather than a suburban quiet. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the statistics alone. For more on the area, see the Bakenes neighbourhood.
