A classic Haarlem townhouse
This 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 was 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. This home has not been online since 27 July 2026.
Leidsebuurt-west
Leidsebuurt-west is a lively, densely built area with a very strong urban feel (over 4,300 addresses per km²). The population of 2,690 is a mix: many singles, but also a fair number of families with children. The neighbourhood Leidsebuurt-west has a high proportion of owner-occupied homes (64%) and mostly pre-war terraced houses. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the statistics: a typical urban area with a good community feel.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy here. The Aldi is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Dekamarkt are a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Koorschool van het Muziekinstituut van de Kathedraal is on your doorstep, and Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer is a five-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem is known for its compact city centre, and this street is well placed for both local shops and the wider city amenities.
