Leidsebuurt-west, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 1890s terraced house on Gasthuislaan sits in the heart of the Leidsebuurt-west neighbourhood. With 145 m² of living space and a 108 m² plot, it offers generous proportions for a city home. The C energy label means it's reasonably efficient, though an older house like this will always have some characterful quirks. At €650,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €518,333, but the size and location justify the premium. For context, terraced houses in Haarlem vary widely in price.
Leidsebuurt-west is a lively, densely built area with a very strong urban feel (over 4,300 addresses per km²).
