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 C.F. Smeetslaan 187, Castricum
The asking price of €280,000 is 44% below the average asking price in Molendijk (€502,868). However, this studio is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average (44 m² vs 116 m²). Given the size and the energy label D, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a compact home in this area.
The energy label is D. In Molendijk, 45% of homes have label C and 15% have D or lower, so this home is on the lower end of efficiency. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label.
One resident mentions 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 no further breakdown is available.
