Frequently asked questions
About Rijnstraat 144, Katwijk
Is €1,145,000 a fair price for this home?
The asking price is 47% above the neighbourhood average of €778,625, but this home is also 47% larger than the average (187 m² vs 127 m²). Given the size and the fact that it's a semi-detached house in a sought-after part of Katwijk, the price is on the high side but reflects the property's unique characteristics.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
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. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for an older property.

One review describes it as "a mess" and "unsafe, dogs barking all day," while another says it's "Cosy and unpredictable" with occasional violent incidents and drug use among young people.
