Vijfhoek, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 1890s townhouse on Wilhelminastraat is a rare find in Haarlem's Vijfhoek. With 542 m² of living space, it's a proper family home in a neighbourhood where most properties are much smaller. The price of €1,495,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €712,176, but then you're getting a home that's nearly five times the average floor area. For context, terraced houses in Haarlem vary widely, but this one stands out for its sheer size.
Vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in, according to residents. One resident says: "Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner." Another adds: "Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer." The neighbourhood is densely populated with 5,770 addresses per km², and it's mostly pre-war housing. The neighbourhood Vijfhoek has a mix of singles and families, with average household incomes in line with the city.
For daily groceries, you have Dekamarkt just around the corner, Jumbo a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer is on your doorstep, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem offers plenty of parks and cultural spots, with the nearest park a five-minute walk away.

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.

About Wilhelminastraat 42, Haarlem
The asking price is 110% above the neighbourhood average of €712,176, but this home is also 397% larger than the average floor area of 109 m². Given the size and the central location, the price is on the high side but reflects the unique character of the property.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. The neighbourhood has 33.3% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for a pre-war property.
Residents rate it 8.25 out of 10. They mention a friendly, close-knit community with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Some note occasional noise from youngsters, but overall it's described as cosy and convenient.
Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer is 226 metres away, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is 532 metres away. There are also several other primary and secondary schools within a short walk.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride.
