Aletta Jacobsstraat 48
Erasmusbuurt, Haarlem
AreaA family home in the Erasmusbuurt
This 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.

Frequently asked questions
About Aletta Jacobsstraat 48, Haarlem
Is €585,000 a fair price for this house?
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.
