Molendijk is a residential area with a mix of family homes and apartments, mostly built between 1945 and 1990. The only review available gives it an 8.4 out of 10, though the resident notes: "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." They also mention poor insulation and mould issues in their own home, but that's specific to their complex. Overall, the Molendijk neighbourhood is quiet and well-maintained, with a high proportion of owner-occupied homes (85%).
For your morning bread run, 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, handy for secondary school.

The municipality of Castricum offers a good balance of coastal and urban amenities.

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.
