Lange Lakenstraat 14A
Vijfhoek, Haarlem
AreaA classic Haarlem terraced house
This 1910 terraced house on the Lange Lakenstraat sits in the heart of Haarlem's old town, where the streets are lively and the atmosphere is distinctly historic. With 82 square metres of living space spread over a compact footprint, it is a home with character rather than sprawling proportions. The energy label is C, which is a middle-of-the-road rating, so heating costs will be moderate. At €2,550 per month, the rent sits above the average of €2,360 for rentals in the area, though it is in line with what similar terraced houses in Haarlem typically command.
The Vijfhoek neighbourhood
The Vijfhoek neighbourhood is a tight-knit corner of the city where, as one resident puts it, "everyone knows each other and is kind to one another." Another resident describes it as "busy but cosy," with everything conveniently close by and the water right on the doorstep for paddleboarding in summer. A third review mentions that the needs of a cat or dog are done at the doorstep, which is a minor gripe in an otherwise positive picture. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.25 out of 10. The area is home to many single-person households, and the streets have a mixed, urban feel.
Life on the street
Daily errands are a pleasure here because the essentials are all within a short stroll. For groceries, the Jumbo is just around the corner, with an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away and a Dekamarkt not much further. Families with children have several schools nearby, including the Cruquiusschool and Openbare Basisschool De Peppelaer, both a five-minute walk, while the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem for secondary education is also close. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality of Haarlem offers a rich mix of shops, restaurants and cultural spots.
