Geschiedschrijversbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Menno Simonszplein sits in a lively part of Haarlem, with a sunny, efficient feel thanks to its A+++ energy label. At 84 m², it's a comfortable size for a couple or a small family. The rent of €2,500 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €2,312, but the excellent energy performance and central location help explain that. For context, other apartments in Haarlem vary widely in price and size.
The neighbourhood Geschiedschrijversbuurt scores an 8.69 out of 10 from residents, based on two reviews.

The area is densely built and very urban, with a mix of families and singles. Around 38% of homes are owner-occupied, and the rest are rental, so there's a good mix of tenures.
