About Van Duurenlaan 16, Castricum
The asking price of €795,000 is about 24% below the average asking price in Bakkum-Zuid (€1,039,333). However, the home is also smaller than average (115 m² vs 172 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher heating costs. Compared to recent sales in the neighbourhood (average €706,625), the price is slightly above, but those homes may have been smaller or in different condition.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house, but it's something to factor into your budget.
Bakkum-Zuid is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Residents describe it as 'wonderfully quiet' and 'cosy', with lots of green space. However, services are limited, there aren't many shops or amenities within walking distance. It's a moderately urban area with a mix of families and older residents.
