Haarlem
Buyer’s agent in Haarlem
Haarlem is an increasingly popular city for homebuyers. Often referred to as “a smaller version of Amsterdam,” it offers a stunning historic city center and diverse neighborhoods, making it an attractive place to live. With over 160,000 residents as of 2021, Haarlem is just outside the top ten largest municipalities in the Netherlands.
Despite its relatively high square meter prices, Haarlem remains a sought-after location due to its blend of culture, leisure, and excellent amenities. To meet the growing housing demand, the municipality continues to develop new residential projects.
Living in Haarlem
Haarlem is an ideal location for residents due to its excellent connectivity. The city provides quick access to major highways, making it easy to travel throughout the Randstad region. Additionally, Bloemendaal Beach is just a short drive away, offering a perfect escape for those who love fresh sea air.
The city itself is rich in amenities, including:
- A historic city center with cultural events year-round
- Vibrant shopping streets
- A wide range of cozy cafés and top-tier restaurants
- Plenty of daycare centers, primary and secondary schools
- Family-friendly spaces like playgrounds and petting zoos

Reviews
Thanks to Erik’s guidance, the process was incredibly smooth, and we even managed to secure the first house we bid on. He carefully explained and shared all the necessary details, connected us with a great mortgage advisor, and managed the entire process. We truly felt guided and supported every step of the way.
We highly recommend Aankoopmakelaar and Erik to anyone looking to buy a home in Amsterdam!
Ben heeft ons daarna ondersteund bij andere bezichtigingen en er uiteindelijk ook voor gezorgd dat we op onze nieuwe woning een gepast, goed onderbouwd, en ook geaccepteerd bod hebben kunnen uitbrengen.
De ondersteuning en samenwerking gedurende het gehele proces waren daarnaast erg prettig en zorgden voor een stukje zekerheid en ontzorging. Ik zou Ben aan iedereen van harte aanbevelen!
