Generaalsbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 1906 terraced house on Generaal Bothastraat sits in a lively part of Haarlem. With 98 m² of living space, it is noticeably roomier than the average home in the neighbourhood. The asking price of €499,999 is right in line with the local market, the median in the area is exactly that figure. For context, terraced houses in Haarlem vary widely, but this one is priced keenly for its size.
The Generaalsbuurt is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a young feel, nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45. It is a mix of singles and families, and almost all homes were built before 1945. There are no resident reviews available for this area, so the picture comes from the figures: a high address density (4,143 per km²) and plenty of activity. The Generaalsbuurt neighbourhood is well within the city, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.
Daily errands are easy here. Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar and Aldi are a couple of streets away. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool De Cirkel is a five-minute walk, and there are several other primary schools within walking distance. A park or public garden is also just around the corner, giving you a green escape without leaving the neighbourhood. The municipality of Haarlem keeps the area well connected.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through two channels: Mijn Huis Verkoop Ik Zelf and Mijn Huis Verkoop Ik Zelf. The energy label is F, which means heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home.

About Generaal Bothastraat 85, Haarlem

The energy label is F, which is one of the lower ratings. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so an F label is not unusual for a pre-war house.
