About Buitenrustlaan 13, Haarlem
The asking price is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €1,154,167, but this home is also 72% larger than the average (277 m² vs 161 m²). Semi-detached houses of this size are rare in Welgelegen, so the premium reflects the extra space and the location. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres and the quiet, green setting.
Welgelegen is a green, quiet neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. It is popular with older residents and professionals, over a quarter of the population is 65 or older. The Haarlemmerhout park is just around the corner, and the city centre is a ten-minute walk. The area feels established and peaceful, yet everything you need is nearby.

The home has energy label C. This is average for a house of this age (1933). You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern home. The neighbourhood has a high share of label A and A+ homes (63%), so this one is slightly below the local standard.

The plot is 423 m², but the listing does not specify how much of that is garden. Given the house size, there is likely a good-sized garden, but you would need to view the property to confirm the layout.
The listing does not mention parking, but Buitenrustlaan is a residential street where on-street parking is common. Haarlem has a permit system for residents, so you would need to apply for a parking permit.
