Erasmusbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Aletta Jacobsstraat sits in a quiet corner of Haarlem. With 100 m² of living space and a 158 m² plot, it offers a comfortable layout for a family. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient. At €585,000, the asking price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €515,000, but it reflects the larger-than-average plot and the fact that terraced houses in Haarlem are in limited supply.
The Erasmusbuurt is a green, water-rich area with a mix of families and older residents. Based on four reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident says: "Nice neighbourhood with friendly neighbours and lots of green water in the area, safe to live." Another, however, describes "People who never talk to or help each other" and a "playground further down where no one sits anymore." A third review mentions a decline due to litter and lack of connection. The neighbourhood has a high address density (3245 addresses per km²), typical of a strongly urban area. For more context, see the Erasmusbuurt neighbourhood.
Daily shopping is easy: Vomar is just around the corner, Jumbo is a couple of streets away, and Dekamarkt is a five-minute walk. For bread or a quick bite, there's a restaurant on your doorstep. Families with young children will find two primary schools within a five-minute walk: De Meer and OBS de Erasmus. A third, De Wijde Wereld, is also close by.

The asking price of €585,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €515,000 and the median of €495,000. However, this house has a larger plot (158 m²) than the average sold home (119 m²). Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €491,800, so the price is on the high side, but the extra land and energy label B may justify it.
The Erasmusbuurt is a green, water-rich area with a mix of families and older residents. It has a high address density (3245 per km²), making it strongly urban. Reviews are mixed: some praise the friendly neighbours and safety, while others mention litter and a lack of social cohesion. The neighbourhood has a playground and a coffee afternoon, but one review calls it 'unsafe' due to gossip.
The train station is 4.6 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Meer and OBS de Erasmus are both 341 m away (a five-minute walk), and De Wijde Wereld is 373 m away. Secondary schools are further, at 2.5 km distance.
Vomar is 369 m away (just around the corner), Jumbo is 389 m away, and Dekamarkt is 679 m away (a five-minute walk). Albert Heijn and Lidl are also within a ten-minute walk.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, but not as low as with an A label. The neighbourhood has a high share of A-label homes (83.3%), so this house is slightly less efficient than many nearby.
Currently, there are 5 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €385,000 to €680,000. Recently, 10 homes were sold, taking an average of 32 days to sell.
With 100 m² of living space, a 158 m² plot, and three floors (typical for a terraced house), it offers enough room for a family. The neighbourhood has many families (450 households with children) and several playgrounds and schools nearby.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I'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 AINeighbours never say anything to others, it seems as if no one lives there and no one is cheerful, actually it seems as if they don't see the point in life at all or have problems in their family or household which they show, maybe also financial problems. There is a playground further down where no one sits anymore and there is a neighbourhood team and coffee afternoon in the area which is seriously unsafe because of the people who constantly gossip about each other, I hope the coffee afternoon stops immediately!

Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is well laid out in terms of the (house/apartment) distribution. Additionally, I believe the neighbourhood has improved in terms of building different types of homes on the same land. Finally, the amount of street lighting is pleasant when it's dark for a good and safe overview.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood is going downhill. Little maintenance of the old houses and the surrounding area. Lots of traffic on the street, police drive by every now and then. Little contact with neighbours, living past each other. Will be glad when I'm out of here.

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
