Living in Overige verspreide huizen Valkenburg, Katwijk
Overige verspreide huizen Valkenburg is not a neighbourhood in the classic sense of the word.

Think of detached homes, farms and country houses that do not belong to a contiguous residential area. The character is rural and quiet, with plenty of greenery and open space around the buildings. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Overige verspreide huizen Valkenburg will notice that the supply here consists almost exclusively of larger ground-based homes.
The neighbourhood has approximately 85 residents, making it one of the smallest neighbourhoods in the municipality.

This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, mature character. Young families or starters are clearly less represented here.
