A studio in the heart of Haarlem
This studio on Parklaan puts you right in the thick of things in Haarlem's Stationsbuurt. At 38 m² it's compact, but the location is buzzing, always something going on, as residents say. The building dates from 1885 and had an E energy label, so heating costs were something to budget for. With a last known price of €300,000, this was the cheapest of the 28 homes at the time for sale in the neighbourhood and sat 70% below the average asking price, a keen entry point into the market. For context, studios in Haarlem typically command a different price bracket. This home has not been online since 8 July 2026.
Stationsbuurt: cosy and lively

One resident says: 'It's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do.' Another calls it 'very cosy, beautiful, everything is nearby.' Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8 out of 10. It's a dense urban area with mostly smaller households, many singles, and a mix of ages. The streets are lively, though greenery is limited, as one resident notes.

For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go a couple of streets away.
