Dorp, Katwijk
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Wassenaarseweg sits in the heart of Katwijk aan den Rijn, a stone's throw from the old village centre. With 118 m² of living space and a 109 m² plot, it offers a classic layout typical of a 1905 home. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though the pre-war construction may need some attention. At €550,000, the asking price is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €778,625, making it a keen entry into the market for end-of-terrace houses in Katwijk.
The neighbourhood Dorp is a dense, urban village with 2,795 residents and a high address density of 2,297 per km². It's a mix of families and older residents, with 75% owner-occupied homes and 82% single-family houses. But the two resident reviews paint a stark picture: one calls it "a mess" and mentions "unsafe, dogs barking all day". Another says it's "cosy and unpredictable", adding that "every few months something violent happens again. A lot of drugs are used in the neighbourhood, especially by young people." So while the area has its charms, safety and nuisance are real concerns.
For groceries, the Coop is just around the corner, and Dirk and Lidl are a couple of streets away. The Julianaschool Rijnsburg is a five-minute walk, and the Teylingen College secondary school is about ten minutes on foot. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a GP practice is a couple of streets away. The municipality Katwijk offers a range of amenities, though the train station is 6.6 km away, so you'll rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.

About Wassenaarseweg 25, Katwijk (Zh)
The asking price of €550,000 is 29% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€778,625) and also below the median of €700,000. Given the 118 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,661 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €6,161 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the pre-war construction and neighbourhood issues may factor in.
Dorp is a dense urban area with a mix of families and older residents. It has a high address density and mostly single-family homes. However, resident reviews highlight safety concerns: one calls it "a mess" and mentions dogs barking all day, while another describes it as "cosy and unpredictable" with occasional violence and drug use among young people.
The closest supermarket is the Coop at 274 metres, just around the corner. Dirk is 734 metres away, and Lidl is 861 metres. So daily shopping is convenient on foot.
The nearest primary school is Julianaschool Rijnsburg at 776 metres, about a ten-minute walk. The Teylingen College secondary school is 875 metres away. Both are within easy walking distance.
