Molendijk, Castricum
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Henri Dunantsingel feels light and efficient, built in 2014 with an A energy label. At 71 m² it is compact but well laid out, and the asking price of €400,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average, about 20% less than the typical €502,868. That makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Castricum.
Molendijk is a residential area with a mix of ages: a third of residents are 65 or older, but there are also plenty of families and singles. One resident describes it as 'reasonably okay', though they note that some complexes need renovation and insulation can be poor. Safety is a concern in certain blocks, but the police are quick to respond. The neighbourhood has a strong sense of community, and the neighbourhood Molendijk is well served by local shops and schools.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Vomar is a couple of streets away. Basisschool De Kustlijn is on your doorstep, and Jac P Thijsse College is a five-minute walk. The municipality Castricum offers a good range of amenities, with a GP and a park both within a five-minute walk.

Very good · 1 resident
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.
