Centrum-Noord, Castricum
NeighbourhoodThis 1938 terraced house on Jacob Catsstraat sits right in the middle of Castricum's centre, where the streets have a settled, village atmosphere. With 180 m² of living space and a 200 m² plot, it's a generous home for someone who values character over modern minimalism. The asking price of €700,000 is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Castricum, but the size and central position explain why.

There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the numbers alone.
For your morning bread run, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. Aldi is also within a five-minute walk. If you have school-age children, Basisschool Juliana van Stolberg is a five-minute walk, and Supreme College (secondary) is just around the corner.
