Kleverpark-noord, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. A 1910s terraced house on one of Haarlem's most desirable streets, with 233 m² of living space and a 182 m² plot. The price tag of €1,800,000 is the highest of the six homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and sits 60% above the average asking price in the area, so it's firmly on the high side.

Kleverpark-noord is a neighbourhood in transition. One resident, who has lived here for over 30 years, describes it as moving 'from a working-class neighbourhood where we lived very cosily to the Kleverpark. A neighbourhood for the better class. Complete with cargo bikes and conversations that contain more English words than Dutch.' Another resident, newer to the area, calls it a 'fine place to stay' and appreciates the positive diversity, the nearby supermarkets and the 15-minute walk to the station, though they note that parking is tight and shops close early. The neighbourhood is densely built (over 3,600 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of pre-war homes, with a mix of families and older residents. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Kleverpark-noord.
Daily life here is wonderfully convenient. The Albert Heijn is on your doorstep at just 39 metres, and a Dekamarkt is just around the corner, so grabbing bread or milk takes minutes. For school runs, Basisschool De Ark is a couple of streets away, and Basisschool de Werkschuit is similarly close. The neighbourhood also has a park or public garden within a five-minute walk, and a restaurant just around the corner. Haarlem's centre and the train station are a ten-minute walk away, making this a well-connected spot. For a sense of the wider area, the municipality Haarlem offers a rich mix of urban life and green spaces.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including DMC Haarlem. The asking price reflects the premium for a large, characterful home in a sought-after part of Haarlem.

Positive. Through urban renewal we moved from a working-class neighbourhood where we lived very cosily to the Kleverpark. A neighbourhood for the better class. We've now lived here for over 30 years and see the area changing into a real yuppie neighbourhood. Complete with cargo bikes and conversations that contain more English words than Dutch.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is fine. I think it's positive that you can separate waste nearby, there are supermarkets close by and you're a 15-minute walk from the station. Some downsides are that there is very little parking space and the streets are narrow, making parking difficult and you have to stop for oncoming traffic. Also, the shops closing at 8, sometimes 9 o'clock, I find a bit too early. I don't really have any complaints about the area, this is my first home away from my parents, and I'm quite happy with the setting.

About Kleverparkweg 47, Haarlem
The asking price is 60% above the neighbourhood average of €1,124,167, and it's the most expensive of the six homes currently for sale in Kleverpark-noord. However, the home is also 60% larger than the average (233 m² vs 146 m²), so the price per square metre is in line with the market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the location on Kleverparkweg.
Kleverpark-noord is a dense, pre-war neighbourhood that has gentrified significantly. Residents describe it as a 'yuppie neighbourhood' with cargo bikes and English conversations. It's diverse, with families and older residents, and has a strong sense of community. The main downsides are narrow streets and limited parking. Shops close relatively early, but the proximity to the centre and station is a big plus.
Very close. The Albert Heijn is just 39 metres away, and a Dekamarkt is 164 metres. For schools, Basisschool De Ark is 139 metres, and Basisschool de Werkschuit is 233 metres. There are also several other primary schools within a few hundred metres, making the school run a short walk.
The home has energy label C. This is average for a pre-war house in the neighbourhood, 55.6% of homes here have label C. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to a higher label.
Haarlem station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That's a comfortable distance, close enough for a daily commute but far enough to avoid station noise.
Parking is a known issue in Kleverpark-noord. Residents mention that streets are narrow and parking spaces are limited. The home itself does not have a garage or private parking listed, so you would rely on street parking, which can be challenging. It's worth checking the permit situation with the municipality.
The plot is 182 m², but the listing does not specify a garden. The plot size suggests there is outdoor space, but whether it's a garden, patio or courtyard is not stated.
