De Goede Hoop is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. It's popular with young adults and singles, nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and many households are single-person. The area has a mix of flats and terraced houses, and most homes were built before 1945. It's a lively, central part of Haarlem.
Haarlem's main train station is about 1.5 km away, which is a 15-20 minute walk or a short bike ride. From there you can reach Amsterdam, Leiden, and other cities.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Openbare Basisschool De Cirkel is about 400 m away, and Willem van Oranjeschool is around 550 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.9 km away.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. It means the property has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but improvements like better glazing or roof insulation could lower them further.
The plot size is 99 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. Given that it's a terraced house with a plot, it's likely there is some outdoor space, but you would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
