About Cattenhagestraat 45A, Naarden
The asking price is 37% below the average asking price in Naarden Vesting (€1,093,000), so it is on the keen side. However, the energy label F and the 1915 construction year mean you should factor in potential renovation costs. The neighbourhood has a median sold price of €1,030,000, but that includes a mix of property types.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it is something to budget for.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a 10-minute cycle. The station is not named in the listing, but it likely serves connections to Amsterdam and Utrecht.
The closest primary school is Rehobothschool, just 179 metres away. Other options within walking distance include Vondelschool Bussum (782 m) and Interconfessionele Basisschool de Tweemaster (812 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.7 km away.
In the most recent data, there were 74 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. With 1,490 residents, that is a relatively low crime rate. The area feels quiet and residential, with many older residents.
