The asking price of €795,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €714,000 and the median of €705,000. However, terraced houses in this area tend to hold their value well, and the home's energy label B and classic 1929 build add appeal. Given that similar homes sold for an average of €711,000 in the past year, the price is on the high side but not unreasonable for a well-maintained property in a sought-after street.
The Geschiedschrijversbuurt is a friendly, well-laid-out neighbourhood with attractive streets and a church square. Residents describe it as cosy and accessible, with all daily amenities within easy reach. The area is densely populated but feels calm, with a mix of families and older residents. There are plenty of parks and green spaces nearby, and the city centre is a short walk away.
Haarlem's main train station is 2.2 km from the house, which is about a 25-minute walk or a 10-minute cycle. From there, you can reach Amsterdam in under 20 minutes and other major cities easily. Buses also run from nearby stops if you prefer not to walk.
Several schools are within walking distance. The International School Haarlem is just 195 m away, and the Cruquiusschool (primary) is 496 m. For secondary education, ECL (havo, atheneum, gymnasium) is 214 m from the house. There are also several other primary schools within a ten-minute walk, making this a convenient location for families.
You have several supermarkets within a short walk. Aldi is 471 m away, Albert Heijn is 484 m, and Vomar is 629 m. For organic options, Ekoplaza is 765 m. This means you can do your daily shopping without needing a car.
The house has an energy label B, which is good for a property built in 1929. This means it's reasonably well-insulated and should have moderate energy costs. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of A+ labels (82%), but this home's B label is still above average for its age.
However, the listing does not specify the exact layout or whether it's a front or back garden. You would need to view the property to see the outdoor space.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 105 m² of living space over three floors, it likely has at least three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan or view the property to confirm.

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
