About Moleneind 8, Rijnsburg

This is a detached house from 1880 with an energy label G, which is the least efficient label, so heating costs are likely to be significant. The price is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Katwijk.

The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, which is separate from the asking price. Without this figure, it is not possible to compare the asking price to the official valuation.
Area-level data indicates that road traffic noise is 53 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Aircraft noise is 46 dB Lden, which is below the norm. These figures are based on 2022 data and are indications for the area, not a measurement at the property itself.
The foundation risk indication is medium. This is because the house was built before 1970, specifically in 1880, and the postcode area is a KCAF attention zone where 82% of buildings predate 1970. The soil type is sand. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific property.

Another says it is a "decent neighbourhood, little crime, easily accessible and centrally located." These reviews reflect the wider district, not just De Horn.
The energy label is G, which is the least efficient label. This means you should expect high energy costs for heating and hot water. The house was built in 1880, so it may have older installations, but the label itself does not specify the condition of the insulation or heating system.

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 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 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.
