Erasmusbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 1973 terraced house on Elsa Brändströmstraat sits in a quiet corner of Haarlem. With 119 m² of living space and a 160 m² plot, it offers a comfortable layout for a family. The energy label C means heating costs are moderate. At €550,000, the asking price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €515,000, reflecting the generous plot and good condition.
The Erasmusbuurt is a densely built neighbourhood (3,245 addresses per km²) with a mix of families and older residents. Opinions vary: one resident calls it "Pleasant living" with "friendly neighbours and lots of green water in the area, safe to live." Another, however, says "Going downhill" due to litter and a lack of connection. A third review mentions neighbours who "never talk to or help each other." Based on four reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.94 out of 10. The neighbourhood Erasmusbuurt is clearly a place of contrasts.
For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools, De Meer and OBS de Erasmus, are both a five-minute walk, making the school run easy. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Haarlem provides all the usual city amenities within easy reach.

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!

About Elsa Brändströmstraat 13, Haarlem
The asking price of €550,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €515,000 and the median of €495,000. However, the house has a generous 160 m² plot and is in good condition. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €491,800, so the price is on the high side but not unreasonable for a well-maintained terraced house.
The Erasmusbuurt is a densely populated area with a mix of families and older residents. Reviews are mixed: some praise the friendly neighbours and green spaces, while others mention litter and a lack of community spirit. The neighbourhood scores 6.94 out of 10 based on four reviews. It's a place where you'll want to get a feel for the street yourself.
The nearest train station is 4.6 km away, so you'll need a bike or car for a direct connection.
Two primary schools, De Meer and OBS de Erasmus, are both about 286 metres away, a five-minute walk. Other options include De Molenwiek Dalton (627 m) and De Wijde Wereld (679 m). Secondary schools are further, at 2.5 km.
