Van Zeggelenbuurt, Haarlem
NeighbourhoodThis Vosmaerstraat house has a warm, lived-in feel that comes with a 1930s build. The 100 m² floor plan is typical for a pre-war terrace, and the 133 m² plot gives you a bit more breathing room than many of its neighbours. With an energy label C, it's not the most efficient, but it's a solid step up from the older stock. At €575,000, the asking price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €520,938, but that reflects the extra space and the fact that terraced houses in Haarlem in this condition don't hang around long.
The neighbourhood Van Zeggelenbuurt is a dense, urban pocket with a very high address density of 3,763 per km². It's a mix of families and singles, with a third of households having children. The one review on is not positive: a resident says "Bad" and gives it 1.75 out of 5. That's just one voice, but it's worth noting. Crime is moderate with 98 incidents reported, and the area is predominantly pre-war housing (82% built before 1945).
Your daily bread run is a couple of streets away at the Dekamarkt, just 400 m from your door. For school runs, the Martin Luther Kingschool is on your doorstep, and the Franciscus Xaveriusschool is a five-minute walk. The municipality Haarlem has plenty of parks within walking distance, and the train station is a ten-minute walk away. Restaurants and a library are also just around the corner, so you won't need the car for everyday errands.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Overspaern Makelaardij, Funda, Pararius, and Huispedia. The agent has provided full details on the property, so you can get a clear picture from the listing.

About Vosmaerstraat 48, Haarlem
The asking price is about 10% above the neighbourhood average of €520,938 and the median of €505,000. However, the house has a larger-than-average plot (133 m² vs. 98 m² average) and is a terrace home, which typically commands a premium. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €546,182, so the price is on the high side but not out of line for a well-sized pre-war terrace.
Energy label C is average for a 1931 home. It means the house has some insulation but not top-tier efficiency. You can expect reasonable heating costs, but it's worth checking the specific measures in place, like double glazing or cavity wall insulation. The neighbourhood has 29% label C homes, while 59% are D or lower, so this one is better than many older houses in the area.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: 28% have children, 27% are couples without kids, and 48% are singles. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including the Martin Luther Kingschool at 244 m. The area is very urban with a high density, so it's lively but not particularly quiet. The single resident review is negative, but that's just one opinion.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Given the high urban density, you'll likely find frequent services to Haarlem centre and beyond.
At €5,750 per m², this house is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,454 per m². But the plot is 133 m², which is larger than the average 98 m², so you're getting more outdoor space. The price per m² of living area is in line with similar homes in the area.
Recently sold homes in the Van Zeggelenbuurt took an average of 23 days to sell. That's relatively quick, indicating a active market. With 44 sales in the period, there's decent turnover, so homes in good condition tend to move fast.
