About Rijnstraat 144, Katwijk
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.
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.
Residents have mixed feelings. 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. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 77, but this covers a range of offences.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Julianaschool Rijnsburg (about a ten-minute walk) and PC Oranje Nassauschool (slightly further). For secondary education, Teylingen College is also about a ten-minute walk away.
The nearest train station is 6.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, car, or bus to reach it.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot is 498 m², which is generous.
