Molendijk, Castricum
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on De Loet in Castricum is priced at €305,000, which is 39% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood. That makes sense given the size and energy label: at 63 m² it's 46% smaller than the average home in the area, and the F label means high energy costs. For context, most homes for sale in the neighbourhood have a better label. If you're looking for a project, this could be a starting point. See how it compares to other apartments in Castricum.
The neighbourhood Molendijk has around 3,300 residents, many of them over 65. It's a fairly urban area with shops and schools nearby.

For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away.

The neighbourhood is reasonably okay, there are plans for new construction in the Geesterduin 2.0 area, but our complex is not included in this renovation. The insulation of the homes, including mine, is so poor that it feels like your ceiling is a thin garden fence; everything that moves above crashes loudly into the bedroom below. Neighbours also suffer severely from mould due to the poor insulation. In terms of safety, the complex is easy to access for burglaries and is very prone to break-ins. The police are often quick to respond if needed.

About De Loet 112, Castricum
The asking price is 39% below the average asking price in Molendijk (€502,868), but the apartment is also 46% smaller than the average home there. Given the small floor area and the poor energy label F, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a fixer-upper in this area.
The energy label is F, which is the second-lowest rating. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, only 15% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is among the least efficient.
Molendijk has about 3,330 residents, with a notable share of older people (over 65). It's a fairly urban area (address density 2254 per km²). One resident gave it an 8.38 but highlighted issues: poor insulation, mould, and burglary risks. On the positive side, police response is quick and there are redevelopment plans nearby.
Vomar supermarket is 256 metres away, Albert Heijn is 441 metres. Primary schools within walking distance include Vrije school Castricum (284 m) and Kindcentrum Helmgras (372 m). Secondary school Supreme College is 683 metres away.
The train station is 1.6 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
The price is relatively low for Castricum, but the F energy label and the resident's comments about insulation and mould mean you should budget for renovations. It's a project home rather than a move-in-ready option.
