A terraced house on a generous plot
This terraced house on Hugo de Grootstraat sits in the Oosterpark neighbourhood of Harlingen, a part of town where daily life is close at hand. The home dates from 1957 and comes with an energy label A, which is the most efficient label you can get, so heating costs should stay modest. The plot is a striking 10,033 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house and gives the property a rare sense of space. At €720 per month, the rent is in line with what you would expect for a home of this size and efficiency in this area. For context, terraced houses in Harlingen are a common sight in the local market.
The Oosterpark neighbourhood
Oosterpark is a residential area with a mix of ages, where families with children make up a notable share of households. The one review of the neighbourhood gives it a 6.63 out of 10, based on a single resident's experience. One resident says: "Not very involved with each other, almost no contact, little knowledge of each other. There are enough schools and playgrounds here, you have enough facilities to suit your lifestyle, safe enough, fortunately little happens here." The same resident adds that it is easy to get home and regrets that so much greenery is being removed, and wonders whether the streets could be made one-way to slow the traffic. It is a neighbourhood with practical amenities, though social contact between neighbours seems limited. For more on the area, see the Oosterpark neighbourhood.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Poiesz supermarket is on your doorstep, with a PLUS a couple of streets away and a Lidl just beyond that. The nearest primary school, IKC Prins Johan Friso, is a five-minute walk, and the Maritieme Academie Harlingen for secondary education is also within easy reach. The train station is about 1.8 km away, so a short cycle or bus ride gets you to the station. The neighbourhood has a good number of schools and playgrounds, as the resident noted, which makes it practical for families. For a broader view of the surroundings, the municipality of Harlingen covers the wider area.

Frequently asked questions
About Hugo de Grootstraat 14, Harlingen
Is €720 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent of €720 per month is in line with what you would expect for a terraced house of 83 m² with an energy label A in Harlingen. The large plot of 10,033 m² is unusual and adds value, though the home is social housing, which typically keeps rents below market levels.
What does the energy label A mean for this home?
Energy label A is the most efficient label on the scale, so the home is expected to have low energy costs. The label is an official registration and reflects the home's energy performance, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building itself. For a home of this size, label A generally means you will not face high heating bills.
How large is the plot and what does it mean?
The plot measures 10,033 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house.
