About Colensostraat 12, Haarlem
The asking price of €450,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €495,000 and the median of €500,000. Given the 87 m² floor area, that works out at about €5,172 per m², which is also lower than the average €5,648 per m² in De Goede Hoop. So it's priced keenly for the area.
This home has energy label G, the lowest rating. That means it's not well insulated and you can expect high heating costs. Most homes in the neighbourhood (38.5%) have labels D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house, but it's something to budget for.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That's convenient for commuting to Amsterdam or other cities.
