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.
