Student Room Spaarndamseweg, Haarlem - For Rent

This listing concerns a non-self-contained student room of 18 m² on the first floor of the Steve Biko student complex on Spaarndamseweg in Haarlem, in the Transvaalwijk neighborhood. The corridor flat was built in 1998, carries energy label A, and is equipped with a lift. The room combines living and sleeping space in one and is let unfurnished, allowing the new resident to arrange the interior to their own taste. The accommodation is intended for one occupant and falls within the student housing target group of students and PhD candidates. A floor plan is available, though it may deviate from the actual situation.

The kitchen is private, while the bathroom, shower, and toilet are shared with the female neighbor next door. The room is located on the east side of the building and offers a view over the Spaarne river. There is no private garden or balcony, and the room faces a busy road, so some traffic noise can be expected. The monthly rent consists of a base rent of €498.20 plus service costs of €141.72, bringing the total to €639.92. Electricity for private use, heating costs, and a basic television signal package are included in the rent. The complex also features a laundry facility and a shared bicycle storage area, and free parking is available on the grounds at the rear of the building.

The property is delivered in basic condition: clean, intact, and safe. The resident will still need to carry out some finishing work, such as installing a floor underlay and flooring that reduces noise by at least 10 decibels, as well as painting or wallpapering the walls and ceilings. The departing resident offers a laminate floor and curtains for takeover; the departing and new tenant are brought into contact for this, though no rights can be derived from these items. The building is part of a homeowners' association (VvE), as the complex also houses owner-occupied homes and business premises, and tenants are expected to comply with the VvE rules. The room is let under a campus contract, which means the tenant must be enrolled in at least a full-time MBO program, and the tenancy is allocated to female applicants.

The Transvaalwijk neighborhood offers practical everyday amenities within a short distance. Bus line 14 stops almost directly outside the building, and Haarlem Central Station is about ten minutes away by bicycle. A shopping center is located a five-minute walk away, with supermarkets such as Vomar and Aldi nearby, alongside restaurants and cafés. Parks and wooded areas are within reach, as are main roads for connections beyond the city. The center of Haarlem, with its historic streets and canals, is roughly ten minutes away by bike, and the view over the Spaarne adds to the setting.
