Locals Ask

Is Helpman actually cheaper than Haren?

Yes, you generally get the same upscale feel for about 15% less on your m² stats than you would across the municipal border.

What is the parking situation like?

It is a squeeze in the narrower side streets, but unlike the center, most of Helpman still offers free or low-cost permit parking.

Are these 1930s houses energy efficient?

Generally no; unless a previous owner has done the work, expect to spend heavily on insulation to get these houses past a Label C.

How do house prices compare to the city center?

Helpman is often more expensive per meter than the center because you are paying for gardens and square footage rather than just location.

Is the €5200/m² ceiling realistic?

Absolutely, especially for renovated corner houses near the Coendersborg area where bidding wars are still the standard.
