About Bakenesserstraat 27E, Haarlem
The asking price of €265,000 is 67% below the neighbourhood average of €803,520, but the studio is also much smaller than average (34 m² vs 121 m²). The price per m² works out to about €7,794, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €7,204 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the small size and central location.
The studio has an energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 37.9% of homes have label A and 6.9% have A+. This means you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older homes in the area, many of which date from before 1945.
The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to Amsterdam or other cities.
