Frequently asked questions
About Vooruitgangstraat 137A, Haarlem
Is €450,000 a fair price for a 42 m² studio in this neighbourhood?
The asking price of €450,000 works out at about €10,714 per m², which is well above the neighbourhood average of €6,264 per m². However, the average home in the area is 83 m², so this studio is much smaller. The price is on the high side compared to other listings in the Oude Amsterdamsebuurt, where the median asking price is €455,000 for homes nearly twice the size.
What does energy label D mean for this studio?
Energy label D is the middle of the scale, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. In the Oude Amsterdamsebuurt, about a quarter of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on your usage and the heating system.
How far is the nearest train station?

Is the neighbourhood safe?
The CBS recorded 143 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare. The area is densely populated, so some street-level activity is normal. You can check local crime maps for more detail.
What is the urbanity level like?
The Oude Amsterdamsebuurt has an urbanity level of 1 (very strong urban), with an address density of 5,108 per km². This means shops, restaurants and services are all very close by, and the streets are lively.

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.
