Burgwal, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century townhouse on the Spaarne is a rare find. With 340 m² of living space spread over several floors, it offers a sense of space you don't often see in the city centre. The asking price of €1,900,000 is well above the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the exceptional size and character of the home. For comparison, terraced houses in Haarlem typically sell for much less.
The neighbourhood Burgwal is the oldest part of Haarlem, with narrow streets and centuries-old buildings. Residents give it a 7.67 out of 10, based on five reviews. One resident says: "Have lived here since 1992, still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing." Another adds: "Lovely neighbourhood to live in, old part of the city. Cleaning and greenery leave something to be desired." The area is densely populated, with many single-person households and a mix of ages.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are a couple of streets away. The Veronica Jenaplanschool is on your doorstep, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is a five-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem offers a rich cultural scene, with restaurants and a library within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van der Schaaf & Kooijmans Makelaars & Taxateurs and through other channels.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years, nice neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 32 years. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.

About Spaarne 57, Haarlem
The asking price is 178% above the neighbourhood average of €684,332, but this home is exceptional: 340 m² versus the average 100 m². The price per m² works out to about €5,588, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,260 per m². So while the total is high, you get a lot of space for your money.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, but not as good as modern standards. With a building from 1738, you can expect higher heating costs than a newer home, but label C is still acceptable for a historic property.
Burgwal is the historic heart of Haarlem, with a very high density of addresses (5,664 per km²). Residents rate it 7.67 out of 10, praising its beauty but noting that social contacts have declined and cleanliness could be better. It's a lively area with many singles and a mix of ages.
The Veronica Jenaplanschool (primary) is just 104 metres away, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem (secondary) is 549 metres away. Other primary schools like Franciscus Xaveriusschool and Openbare Basisschool De Kring are within a ten-minute walk.
Haarlem train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-20 minute walk or a short cycle ride.
The plot is 128 m², but the listing does not specify a garden. Given the historic townhouse setting, outdoor space may be limited to a courtyard or no garden at all.
