Centrum, Katwijk
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on the Voorstraat in Katwijk aan Zee sits right in the historic heart of the village. With 184 m² of living space spread over one floor, it is unusually large for a rental. The building dates from 1890 and has an E energy label, so heating costs will be noticeable. At €2,400 per month, the price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Katwijk.
Centrum is the lively core of Katwijk aan Zee, with a mix of shops, cafés and restaurants just steps away. The area is densely built and urban, with over 2,200 addresses per km². Around a third of households have children, and a similar share are singles. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from statistics alone. The neighbourhood Centrum is compact and walkable, with most daily needs within a few minutes on foot.
For your morning bread, Hoogvliet is just around the corner. Dirk is a couple of streets away, and Lidl and Albert Heijn are a ten-minute walk or more. Primary schools are a bit further out: the nearest, Julianaschool Rijnsburg, is about 3 km away, and secondary education is at a similar distance. The municipality Katwijk offers a range of amenities, but for this specific street, the supermarket is the standout convenience.

About Voorstraat 21A, Katwijk
At 184 m², the price per square metre comes to about €13. That is on the high side for a rental in Katwijk, but the size is exceptional. The E energy label means higher utility costs, which you should factor into your budget. Without comparable listings in the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say whether it is keen or overpriced, but the combination of large floor area and older construction makes it a specific proposition.
The energy label is E, which is below average for a home of this era. An E label indicates that the property is not well insulated and will have higher heating costs. You can expect a significant energy bill, especially in winter. The label is based on the building's characteristics and has been officially registered.
The nearest train station is 8.9 km away, so this is not a home for daily commuters relying on rail. Katwijk aan Zee does not have a station within walking distance; you would need a bus or car to reach Leiden Centraal or Den Haag HS. The distance is given as the crow flies, so the actual travel distance may be slightly longer.
Hoogvliet supermarket is just 158 metres away, ideal for daily groceries. Dirk is about 842 metres, and Lidl and Albert Heijn are within 1.6 km. The Centrum area also has many restaurants, with the nearest just 0.1 km away. For other shopping, the town centre is on your doorstep.
The CBS data records 82 total crimes in the neighbourhood, which for a dense urban area with over 1,100 residents is moderate. No breakdown by crime type is given, but the figure is not alarmingly high. As with any city centre, you can expect some noise and activity, but serious incidents are not indicated by the data.
The building was constructed in 1890, making it over 130 years old. The E energy label suggests that modern insulation and double glazing are not present. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should assume the property is in original condition with period features. Maintenance costs may be higher than for a newer home.
