The asking price is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €778,625, but the home is also 47% larger than the average (187 m² vs 127 m²). So the price per m² is roughly in line with the market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the character of a 1906 semi-detached house.
Dorp has a mixed reputation. Two residents gave it an average score of 6.32 out of 10. One described it as 'a mess' with safety concerns, while another called it 'Cosy and unpredictable' and noted occasional violence and drug use among young people. It's a lively area with both families and older residents, but not without its problems.
The nearest train station is 6.6 km away, so you'll need a car or bus for rail connections.
Primary schools within walking distance include Julianaschool Rijnsburg (about a ten-minute walk) and PC Oranje Nassauschool (also about a ten-minute walk). For secondary education, Teylingen College is roughly a ten-minute walk away.
Coop is just around the corner (371 m), Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (639 m), and Lidl is a couple of streets away (730 m). For daily shopping, you have several options within easy reach.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The neighbourhood has 25% label A homes, but 50% are label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience is that you speak to almost everyone in the neighbourhood and everyone is very friendly. Sometimes there are loitering youths but usually it's quiet. There is greenery but it could always be more! There are many terraced houses so there is plenty of space but also a number of large houses where actually many more houses could have been built. There are several schools to choose from so that's good!

How residents experience their municipality
unsafe, dogs barking all day
Auto-translated to English by AIWesterhaghe 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 AIThe neighbourhood is very diverse, all kinds of people from all countries who were once brought together in Katwijk. It is number one, a very safe neighbourhood; I forgot to close my car window, it was open all night and really nothing happened. Whichever window I look out of, everywhere green, the diversity of birds is enormous. I look out over the Rhine, surrounded by greenery and especially on summer days lots of boats and picnic spots, some you have to make yourself but there are also plenty of benches. I always said I would never want to live here, my husband thought this spot was meant for us and within a month we had the certainty that we could live here. WONDERFUL,

Auto-translated to English by AIOur flat is nicely laid out, a safe feeling, beautiful view over the Rhine, people always cycling by, boats mooring and all kinds of cultures and people of all colours, young and old. Shops in the neighbourhood, chats with neighbours and also helpful to each other, very nice. Our house has a wide balcony that spans two rooms, so quite a lot of outdoor space. Sometimes the rubbish container is full and it does happen that a bag is left, but that probably happens everywhere. And because many boats moor and sail away again, there is often litter along the waterfront.
