A studio in the heart of Haarlem
This studio on Jansstraat sits in the middle of Haarlem's old centre, where the streets are always busy and the atmosphere is unmistakably urban. The home itself is compact, with 43 square metres of living space, and the building dates from 1700, so you are living in a piece of the city's history. This listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,850 per month, the rent sits 22% below the neighbourhood average of €2,365, which makes it a keen price for the area. For context, studios in Haarlem vary widely in price, but this one is on the affordable side.
The Bakenes neighbourhood
Bakenes is one of Haarlem's oldest quarters, a tight network of streets and canals just off the Grote Markt. The population is small, just over 2,000 people, and the area is dominated by single-person households, with 61% living alone. It is a mixed crowd, from students to older residents, and the streets have a lively, lived-in feel. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the statistics. The housing stock is a mix of rented and owned homes, with 41% owner-occupied, and the area is known for its historic buildings and narrow alleys. For more on what the area is like, see the Bakenes neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the centre, and the essentials are all within easy reach. For groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Dekamarkt a couple of streets away and a Jumbo. For schools, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a five-minute walk, and the Openbare Basisschool De Kring is. The train station is a ten-minute walk at 0.9 kilometres, which makes getting out of the city straightforward. The area is part of the municipality of Haarlem, which covers the wider city and its amenities.
