Vijfhoek, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a year of construction. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The apartment is 60 m² with an A energy label, which means it's very efficient. At €2,950 per month, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €2,809, but the small floor area (37% smaller than the average 95 m²) partly explains that. For context, see other apartments in Haarlem.

De vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice place to live. Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer. The parks are also very nice, I'm there quite often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe needs of a cat or dog are done at my doorstep (which I can't do anything about) and it is never cleaned up.
