Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.

Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.

About Burgwal 23, Haarlem
The asking price is 15% above the average asking price in Burgwal, which is €684,332. However, this home is larger than many in the area (103 m² vs. 100 m² average) and has a prime historic location. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the central setting and period features.
The home has energy label C. This is a mid-range rating: it's reasonably efficient but not as low-cost as A or B. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation could bring it up a notch.
Burgwal is very central: a supermarket (Dekamarkt) is on your doorstep, and several primary schools are within a five-minute walk. The area is densely built with historic streets, so parking may be tight, but you can walk to restaurants, the train station (1.5 km) and parks.
It's a terraced house (tussenwoning) built in 1890, with 103 m² of living space and a 51 m² plot.
In Burgwal, sold homes took an average of 42 days to sell. That's fairly quick, suggesting demand is healthy. The current listing has 44 homes for sale, so there is choice, but well-priced homes in the centre move fast.
The plot is 51 m², which typically includes a small courtyard or garden behind the house. The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so you would need to confirm the outdoor space with the agent.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Veronica Jenaplanschool (221 m), Franciscus Xaveriusschool (454 m), and Openbare Basisschool De Kring (646 m). For secondary education, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is 722 m away.
