Rental homes in Haarlem

Haarlem, the capital of the province of North Holland, is often described as a smaller and calmer Amsterdam. Its old centre around the Grote Markt and the Sint-Bavokerk is full of narrow streets, almshouse courtyards, shops and cafés. The dunes are a short bike ride away, and the beaches at Zandvoort and Bloemendaal are close by.

Many people who rent in Haarlem work in Amsterdam. Trains from Haarlem station run to Amsterdam, Leiden and Zandvoort, and Schiphol is easy to reach. The typical renter is a young professional, a couple or a family rather than a student, although Inholland University of Applied Sciences has a campus in the city.

Apartments in the historic centre are in high demand and rarely stay online for long. For more space, renters look at Haarlem-Noord, around the Kleverpark, or at Schalkwijk on the east side, which has more post-war flats and family houses. Supply is limited, so widen your search to nearby towns such as Heemstede. Saving a search on RentQuick sends new Haarlem listings to your inbox.
