How do I find a place to live in Haarlem?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Haarlem involves several steps. First, you need to determine your budget and the type of accommodation you're looking for. This could range from a studio apartment to a family home. Next, you should research the different neighborhoods in Haarlem to find one that suits your lifestyle and preferences. Some popular neighborhoods include the Grote Markt, Kleverpark, and Vijfhoek. Once you have an idea of what you're looking for, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rental properties in Haarlem. These include Pararius, Funda, and Expat Rentals. You can also consider hiring a real estate agent to help you in your search. They can provide you with expert advice and access to listings that may not be publicly available. When you find a property you're interested in, you'll need to contact the landlord or real estate agent to arrange a viewing. It's important to view the property in person before making a decision. If you decide to proceed with a property, you'll need to provide certain documents such as proof of income and identification. You'll also need to sign a rental agreement and pay a deposit, which is usually equivalent to one or two months' rent. Finally, once the paperwork is complete and the deposit is paid, you can move into your new home in Haarlem," remarked one member in Haarlem.
