Was €395 a fair price for this room?
At €395 per month, this room was priced well below the average rental in the Bloemenbuurt, which stood at €3,200. However, that average included much larger properties, so a fairer comparison was with other rooms in the area, where the average was €375. This room is slightly above that, but the location and size may justify it.
How big is this room?
The room has a floor area of 18 m², which is compact. This is 88% smaller than the average rental property in the neighbourhood, which is 152 m². For a single person looking for a simple, affordable base, this size was typical for a room rental.
What is the neighbourhood like?
The Bloemenbuurt is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. Most residents live alone, and the population is spread across age groups, with a slight peak among 25 to 45 year olds. It is a busy, well-connected part of Haarlem, with many amenities within walking distance.
How close are the nearest shops and schools?
An Albert Heijn supermarket is just 41 metres away, so daily shopping is very convenient. A Dekamarkt is about 800 metres off. For schools, the Kennemer Lyceum is 435 metres away, and IKC De Argonauten is 509 metres. Both are within a short walk.
Is this room part of social housing?
Yes, this room was marked as social housing, which typically meant it was let at a regulated rent and might had eligibility criteria. The rent of €395 per month was below the social housing threshold, so it was likely aimed at those who qualify for social housing.
