The neighbourhood is reasonably okay, there are plans for new construction in the Geesterduin 2.0 area, but our complex is not included in this renovation. The insulation of the homes, including mine, is so poor that it feels like your ceiling is a thin garden fence; everything that moves above crashes loudly into the bedroom below. Neighbours also suffer severely from mould due to the poor insulation. In terms of safety, the complex is easy to access for burglaries and is very prone to break-ins. The police are often quick to respond if needed.

About Dag Hammarskjöldlaan 67, Castricum
The asking price is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €502,868, but the home is also 56% larger than the typical home in Molendijk (116 m²). Given the size and the fact that it's a semi-detached house with a garden, the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, but not as good as modern standards. In the neighbourhood, 45% of homes have label C, and 25% have label A or better. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation could help.
One resident reports that the complex is easy to access for burglaries and prone to break-ins, though the police respond quickly. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 147, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's worth being aware of the security situation.
Basisschool De Kustlijn is just 208 metres away, Kindcentrum Helmgras is 557 metres, and Jac P Thijsse College (secondary) is 581 metres. There are also several other primary schools within a kilometre, so school runs are easy on foot or by bike.
