About Buitensluisstraat 9, Katwijk
The rent is 24% above the average for rental homes in De Noord, which is €1,755. However, this house is larger than many rentals in the area, with 122 m² of space and a garden plot. The energy label B also helps keep running costs down. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet, family-friendly street.
The home has energy label B, which is efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes with labels E, F or G. The exact costs depend on your usage, but label B is a good sign for a house built in 1953.
Katwijk aan Zee is a coastal town, and the beach is roughly 1.5 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The neighbourhood itself is inland, but the sea breeze and dunes are easily reached.
A primary school is just around the corner (200 m), and a secondary school is about 1 km away. Several other primary and secondary schools are within a couple of kilometres, making it convenient for families with children of different ages.
The nearest train station is 8.7 km away, so this is not a home for daily train commuters. Buses connect Katwijk to Leiden and other towns, but a car or bicycle is more practical for most journeys.
De Noord recorded 82 crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a neighbourhood of this size. It is a residential area with many families, and the streets feel safe during the day. As with any area, it is always wise to check recent crime maps.
