A compact studio in the heart of Haarlem
This studio on Jansstraat sits right in the historic centre of Haarlem, where the streets buzz with cafés and boutiques. At 31 m² it's a snug space, but with an A+ energy label it's remarkably efficient for a building from 1700. The last known asking price of €275,000 was 66% below the neighbourhood average of €803,520, which made it a keen entry point into the market, especially compared to other studios in Haarlem. This home has not been online since 22 September 2026.
Bakenes: a historic city-centre neighbourhood
Bakenes is the oldest part of Haarlem, with narrow streets and monumental buildings. It's densely populated, over 5,600 addresses per km², and most homes date from before 1945. The area has a young, urban feel: the largest age group is 25 to 45, and many households are single-person. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data alone. The neighbourhood Bakenes is a lively, central spot where you can walk to almost everything.
Daily life on the street
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Dekamarkt and Jumbo a couple of streets away. The Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a five-minute walk, and primary school De Kring is also within easy reach. The municipality Haarlem offers a compact urban lifestyle where work, shops and culture are all close by.

Frequently asked questions
About Jansstraat 46A21, Haarlem
Was €275,000 a fair price for this studio?
The asking price was 66% below the average asking price in Bakenes (€803,520), but the studio was also much smaller than the neighbourhood average of 121 m². At €8,871 per m², it was above the neighbourhood average of €7,204 per m², so the price per square metre was on the high side. The A+ energy label is a plus that may justify some of the premium.
What is the energy label and why does it matter?
The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. Only 7% of homes for sale in Bakenes had this label. For a building from 1700, that was exceptional and meant heating costs would be relatively low.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's Haarlem station, with connections to Amsterdam, Leiden and beyond.
What shops are nearby?
Albert Heijn is 194 metres away, just around the corner. Dekamarkt is 443 metres and Jumbo 500 metres, both a couple of streets away. There are also many restaurants and cafés within a short walk.
Is this a good area for young professionals?
Bakenes has a high proportion of 25- to 45-year-olds and many single-person households. It's a very urban area with a high density of addresses. The historic centre offers plenty of nightlife and culture, and the train station is close for commuting.
How many similar studios are available in Haarlem?
The data didn't specify the number of studios for sale, but the neighbourhood had 25 homes on the market in total. Studios are a niche product in this historic area, where most homes are larger apartments or houses.
