Is €269,000 a fair price for this studio?
The asking price of €269,000 is 46% below the average asking price in the Generaalsbuurt (€497,231). However, this studio is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average (30 m² vs 75 m²). The price per m² works out to about €8,967, which is above the neighbourhood average of €7,305 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the compact size.

Experiences from Haarlem
How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.
