Frequently asked questions
About Prof. Winklerlaan 97, Castricum
Was €544 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €544 per month was set within the social housing sector, which meant it was capped by national rules. For a 53 square metre apartment in Bakkum-Zuid, this is a modest figure compared to what private landlords typically ask in the area. The listing did not state any service charges, so the total monthly cost could be slightly higher than the rent alone.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration recorded in the national energy label database. A C label sits in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is neither particularly efficient nor particularly inefficient.

The closest supermarket is Dekamarkt at about 1.1 kilometres from the apartment. Ekoplaza is slightly further at around 1.2 kilometres, and Aldi is about 1.3 kilometres away. For daily shopping, you would need to walk or cycle a short distance, as there are no shops directly on the street.
