NeighbourhoodA compact studio in the heart of Haarlem

Frequently asked questions
About Parklaan 16A, Haarlem
Is €485,000 a fair price for a 24 m² studio in Stationsbuurt?
The asking price of €485,000 is 50% below the neighbourhood average of €970,615, but the floor area is 84% smaller than the average of 154 m². The price per m² works out to about €20,208, which is significantly higher than the neighbourhood average of €6,737 per m². So while the total price is low for the area, you are paying a premium for the small size.
What is the energy label E and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which is an official registration (EP-Online). Label E is on the lower end of the scale, meaning the home is not very energy efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The label does not specify which aspects cause the low rating, it could be the heating system, insulation, or glazing.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
Stationsbuurt is very central and lively. Residents describe it as cosy and busy, with everything nearby. There are supermarkets like Albert Heijn within a couple of minutes' walk, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away. The area has a high density of shops, restaurants, and services, so you rarely need to go far for daily needs.
What is the public transport like?
The train station is 600 metres away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to Amsterdam, Leiden, and other cities. The central location means most amenities are within walking distance.
Is this studio suitable for a couple?
At 24 m², this is a compact studio. It is best suited for a single person or possibly a couple who are comfortable with very limited space. The layout is not described in the listing, so you would need to check the floor plan. There is no separate bedroom, so living and sleeping share the same room.
How does the price compare to other studios in Haarlem?
The asking price of €485,000 is below the neighbourhood average for all homes, but studios in Haarlem vary widely. The average price per m² in Stationsbuurt is €6,737, while this studio works out at over €20,000 per m². That is a high premium for the small size, but the total price is relatively low for the area.
Experiences from Stationsbuurt
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I've been living here for a short while due to homelessness, but it's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do. It's still a city so greenery and housing always remain a bit rubbish, but well, where in the Netherlands don't you have that?

Experiences from Oude Stad
How residents experience their district
Have lived here since 1992, still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing.
Auto-translated to English by AILovely neighbourhood to live in, old part of the city. Cleaning and greenery leave something to be desired.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy....lots of greenery, beautiful street lighting and great to be able to live here
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.

Auto-translated to English by AIDe vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years, nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.

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.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
