Molendijk, Castricum
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on De Loet sits in a quiet residential part of Castricum, with a good-sized garden and a practical layout. At €525,000, the asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €502,868, but the 132 m² floor area and 163 m² plot make it a solid proposition compared to other terraced houses in Castricum.
Molendijk is a neighbourhood with a mix of ages and housing types, though the one review available paints a mixed picture. One resident says: "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." The neighbourhood Molendijk has a high proportion of single-person households and a significant number of residents aged 65 and over, with average incomes in line with the town.
For your morning bread, Vomar is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. School runs are easy: Kindcentrum Helmgras is a five-minute walk, and Vrije school Castricum is similarly close. The municipality Castricum offers a train station a ten-minute walk away, plus a park and a restaurant within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Teer Makelaars Castricum B.V. and also appears on Funda, so you can view it through several channels.
