The asking price of €389,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €374,500 but below the average of €449,500. Given the floor area of 97 m², the price per m² works out to about €4,010, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,460 per m². So it's priced competitively for the size, though the energy label E may mean higher running costs.
Energy label E is the fifth-highest label on the scale from A to G. It means the home is less efficient than average, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label, so this one stands out in that respect.
The nearest train station is 5.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, car or bus to reach it.
The neighbourhood recorded 36 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively low for an area of this size. Residents describe it as quiet and friendly, with a sense of community.

How residents experience their district
Westerhaghe is a charming and lively place with a rich history and a strong sense of community. Located in the municipality of Katwijk, close to the dunes and the coast, it combines the best of tranquillity and accessibility. The neighbourhood exudes a village atmosphere, where people know each other and life moves just a little slower. What makes my neighbourhood special is the mix of historic charm and modern amenities. The centre is cosy and compact, with local shops and pleasant eateries. The location is also ideal: cities like Leiden and The Hague are within easy reach, while at home you enjoy the peace and space of a smaller community. The Bollenstreek is just around the corner, making it extra special in spring with all those colourful fields in bloom. In short, it is a nice, safe and warm neighbourhood where tradition and progress go hand in hand.
Auto-translated to English by AII could always play safely here as a child and it's still a good neighbourhood to live in now
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent neighbourhood, little crime, easily accessible and centrally located.
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice, cosy neighbourhood, had a good youth
Auto-translated to English by AI-Very noisy! Lots of antisocial people! Annoying loitering youths! + lots of playgrounds
Auto-translated to English by AIYour child can play outside safely and enjoyably in the neighbourhood. There is a small farm and a playground. There are also neighbourhood apps where parents can share messages with each other. This happens, for example, when there has been a burglary, etc. Furthermore, you can easily be in the city centre in 10 minutes if you take the bus. It would just be nice if that bus came more often per hour. The other buses come more frequently, but that one is a 10-minute walk away. There is also a nice canal where you can walk and go boating! There are also plenty of rubbish bins.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a lot of greenery, a good supermarket, safe neighbourhood, quiet neighbourhood, more shops in the area such as in Valkenburg and Rijnsburg.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very diverse, all kinds of people from all countries who were once brought together in Katwijk. It is number one, a very safe neighbourhood; I forgot to close my car window, it was open all night and really nothing happened. Whichever window I look out of, everywhere green, the diversity of birds is enormous. I look out over the Rhine, surrounded by greenery and especially on summer days lots of boats and picnic spots, some you have to make yourself but there are also plenty of benches. I always said I would never want to live here, my husband thought this spot was meant for us and within a month we had the certainty that we could live here. WONDERFUL,
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, quiet, lots of green, supermarket nearby
Auto-translated to English by AIOur flat is nicely laid out, a safe feeling, beautiful view over the Rhine, people always cycling by, boats mooring and all kinds of cultures and people of all colours, young and old. Shops in the neighbourhood, chats with neighbours and also helpful to each other, very nice. Our house has a wide balcony that spans two rooms, so quite a lot of outdoor space. Sometimes the rubbish container is full and it does happen that a bag is left, but that probably happens everywhere. And because many boats moor and sail away again, there is often litter along the waterfront.
