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 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.

The price is in line with what other vrijstaande woningen in Katwijk sell for. With 157 m² of living space and a 331 m² plot, you get a good amount of space for the money. The energy label D means heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home, but the location in a sought-after village-like neighbourhood adds value.
Westerhaghe has a strong community feel, with residents describing it as charming, safe, and child-friendly. There is a small farm and a playground, and neighbours use apps to share messages. The area is highly urbanised, so shops and schools are within walking distance. The bus takes you to the city centre in about 10 minutes, though the nearest stop is a 10-minute walk away.
The nearest train station is 5.6 km away, so you would need a bus, bike, or car to get there. The bus from the neighbourhood can take you to Leiden or The Hague, but the station itself is not within walking distance.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, including PC Oranje Nassauschool (270 m) and Julianaschool (307 m). For secondary education, Teylingen College is just 292 m away. All are within a five-minute walk, making the school run easy.
The home has energy label D, which is average for a house built in 1967. It means the insulation and heating system are not as efficient as modern standards, so you can expect higher energy bills. Upgrading to a better label could improve comfort and reduce costs.
