Molendijk, Castricum
NeighbourhoodThis 1972 apartment on De Loet offers 101 m² of living space, which is generous for an apartment. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though you may want to budget for some improvements. Priced at €479,000, it sits slightly below the average for apartments in Castricum, making it a keen option in the current market.
Molendijk is a mixed area with a large share of families and older residents. One resident describes it as "reasonably okay", but notes that the complex itself needs renovation and suffers from poor insulation and mould. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel (over 2,200 addresses per km²) and is predominantly owner-occupied (85%). For more context, see the neighbourhood Molendijk page.
For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Vrije school Castricum and Kindcentrum Helmgras, both a few minutes' walk. The train station is about a ten-minute walk, and the municipality Castricum offers plenty of green space nearby.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Hopman Woonmakelaars Castricum.

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.
