NeighbourhoodThis studio on Wilhelminastraat is a true city base. At 30 m² it's small, but it's priced at €267,500, the cheapest of the 34 homes currently for sale in the Vijfhoek neighbourhood. That's 62% below the average asking price in the area, so it's a notably keen entry point into the market.

Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.25 out of 10. It's a dense, urban area with mostly single-person households and a young to middle-aged population.

De 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 AII think it's a very nice place to live. Everything is conveniently close by and I live right by the water, where I usually go paddleboarding in the summer. The parks are also very nice, I'm there quite often.

About Wilhelminastraat 35A, Haarlem
At €267,500, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Vijfhoek and 62% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €712,176. However, the floor area is 30 m², which is 72% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 109 m². So the price reflects the compact size. Compared to other studios in Haarlem, it's at the lower end of the market.
The energy label is C. That's a decent score for a home built in 1881. In Vijfhoek, about 31% of homes have label C, while 33% have a lower label (D or worse). So this studio is around average for the area. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's convenient for commuting to Amsterdam or other cities.
Residents describe Vijfhoek as a close-knit community where people know each other. One says: "Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another." Another mentions it's "busy but cosy." The neighbourhood has many single-person households and a mix of ages, with a strong presence of 25- to 45-year-olds.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given the studio is on the first floor (35A), it's unlikely to have private outdoor space. However, there are parks within a ten-minute walk, like the one at 0.6 km.
The property type is a studio, which typically means one open-plan living/sleeping area plus a separate kitchen and bathroom. The exact layout is not detailed in the listing, but at 30 m² it's a compact single space.
