Yes, €850 for a 96 m² apartment with an A energy label is keen. In Molenwijk, similar rental properties from housing corporations are scarce, and the price per square metre here is below what you'd typically see in Katwijk. The fact that it's a corporation rental also means the rent is regulated, so it's a good deal.

Molenwijk is a quiet, safe neighbourhood with lots of greenery. Residents give it a perfect score, praising the nearby supermarket and the peaceful atmosphere. It's a mix of families and older residents, and crime rates are low. The area feels suburban but still has shops and schools within walking distance.

The Dirk supermarket is just 75 metres away, literally on your doorstep. For more variety, the Coop is about a kilometre away, and Hoogvliet and Lidl are within a 15-minute walk. So daily shopping is very convenient.

Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. The Julianaschool Rijnsburg (primary) is about 993 metres away, and the Teylingen College (secondary) is 989 metres away. Both are around a ten-minute walk, so school runs are easy.

The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. That means your heating and electricity costs will be relatively low compared to older homes. The home was built in 1973 but has been well-insulated or upgraded to achieve this label.

Yes, this is a corporation rental, which means the rent is likely regulated and below market rate. The monthly rent of €850 is fixed and subject to annual increases set by the government. It's a good option for those who qualify for social housing.

The nearest train station is 5.9 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike or bus to reach it. However, the area has good bus connections, and the station offers links to Leiden, The Hague and beyond.
