About Van Deventerstraat 6, Haarlem
The asking price of €475,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €550,000 and the median of €550,000. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €5,556, while this home works out at about €5,053 per m². Given that only one other home is currently for sale in the Professorenbuurt, this listing is priced keenly compared to the local market.
The energy label is D. In the Professorenbuurt, all homes currently for sale have label A, so this home is less efficient than the local norm. Label D means heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home, but it is not the worst rating. The home was built in 1966, so improvements like cavity wall insulation or double glazing could potentially upgrade the label.
The nearest train station is 4.4 km away. That is about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. The home is not within walking distance of a station, so commuting by train would require a bike or bus connection.
Several primary schools are within walking distance. Rooms katholieke Basisschool Don Bosco is 283 m away, Islamitische Basisschool Al Ikhlaas is 397 m away, and OBS de Globe is 413 m away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.7 km from the house.
Currently, only one home is for sale in the Professorenbuurt, which is this one. In the past period, two homes were sold, with an average selling price of €510,000 and an average time on the market of 51 days. The limited supply means choices are few.
The Professorenbuurt is family-friendly: 44% of households have children, and the average household size is 2.4 people. There are 235 children aged 0-14, and the area has a high address density, so it feels urban but residential. A park is 0.5 km away, and several primary schools are within a few hundred metres.
The plot measures 121 m², which is larger than the floor area of 94 m². The house is a terraced property, so the plot includes the footprint of the house and likely a garden at the front and back.
The Van Deventerstraat is in a residential part of the Professorenbuurt. The neighbourhood has an urbanity level of 1 (very strong urban), meaning it is densely built-up. However, the street itself is likely quiet as it is not a main road. The nearest park is 0.5 km away for a peaceful escape.
