About Mr. D. Donker Curtiusstraat 35, Katwijk (Zh)
The asking price of €549,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €615,476 and the median of €575,000. Given the 117 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €4,692, which is slightly under the local average of €4,967. So it appears keenly priced for a terraced house in De Noord.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood: 35% of homes here have label C or better. An E label means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills. It may be worth considering improvements like insulation or double glazing to bring costs down.
The beach at Katwijk aan Zee is roughly 1.5 km away, a pleasant 15,20 minute walk. The nearby dunes and boulevard are popular for walks and cycling.
Primary schools Julianaschool Rijnsburg and PC Oranje Nassauschool are both about 300 m away, a short walk. For secondary education, Teylingen College is also within walking distance at around 300 m. Several other schools are within a couple of kilometres.
The nearest train station is 8.7 km away, so the area is not well served by rail. However, bus stops on the N206 and other lines are within walking distance, connecting to Katwijk town centre and Leiden. For daily commuting, a car or bicycle is more practical.
