I find Katwijk aan zee has a lot of traffic but it doesn't bother me, though there are too few parking spaces. On Sundays it's quiet and peaceful here. People always greet you friendly. But they do live on their own island.

About Willem de Zwijgerlaan 47, Katwijk (Zh)
The asking price of €395,000 is in line with the market for apartments in Katwijk. The home has 104 m² of living space, which works out to about €3,798 per m². Without specific neighbourhood sales data, it's hard to say more, but the price appears competitive for a flat of this size with energy label B.
The energy label is B, which means the apartment is reasonably efficient. You can expect moderate energy bills compared to older homes, though exact costs depend on usage. The label is based on the building's insulation and installations from 1958, so it's a solid middle ground.
The nearest train station is 7.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it. The station is likely in Leiden or a nearby town, but the exact name isn't listed.
