A compact studio on Zijlweg
This studio on Zijlweg sits in the middle of Haarlem's Bloemenbuurt, a lively corner of the city where the streets are lined with classic early-1900s architecture. At 33 m² it is a compact home, and the rent of €1,400 a month is on the high side when you compare it with the average of €31.10 per m² for rentals in the neighbourhood. For context, the average rental in the area goes for €3,950 a month, so this studio is a smaller, more affordable entry point. If you are looking for a place to live alone, this could be a good fit, and it is one of the studios in Haarlem currently on the market.
