Burgwal, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis 1890s terraced house on Spaarnwouderstraat sits in the historic heart of Haarlem, with its gabled facades and cobbled streets. At 123 m² over three floors, it's a proper family home with a C energy label, not the most efficient, but typical for a house of this age. The asking price of €800,000 is 17% above the neighbourhood average, so it's on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Haarlem.

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. Pleasant neighbourhood in itself. Could do with a bit more attention now and then, e.g. emptying containers.

About Spaarnwouderstraat 96, Haarlem
The asking price is 17% above the average asking price in Burgwal (€684,332), so it's on the high side. However, this is a spacious 123 m² terraced house in the historic centre, which commands a premium. The median sold price in the neighbourhood is €549,000, but that includes smaller homes.
The home has energy label C. That's average for a house built in 1890, it's not super efficient, but it's not the worst either. You can expect moderate heating costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to B or A.
Residents rate it 7.7 out of 10. They love the historic character and central location, but note that social contacts have decreased and street cleaning could be better. It's a very urban area with lots of singles (815 one-person households) and a mix of ages.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Veronica Jenaplanschool (367 m) and Franciscus Xaveriusschool (389 m). For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem is about 800 m away, a ten-minute walk.
Haarlem train station is 1.5 km from the house, about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. That gives you direct connections to Amsterdam, Leiden, and other cities.
The plot is 52 m², which typically includes a small courtyard garden at the back. The listing doesn't specify the garden size or orientation, so you'd need to view it to see the outdoor space.
