Molendijk, Castricum
NeighbourhoodThis 1969 terraced house on Marshallstraat sits in a quiet part of Castricum, with a generous 136 m² of living space and a 299 m² plot. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient, though the single review suggests insulation could be better. At €545,000, the asking price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €502,868, but given the size and plot, it's in line with the market for terraced houses in Castricum.
Molendijk is a mixed residential area with around 3,330 residents, many of whom are older (over 30% are 65+). It's a fairly urban setting (address density 2,254 per km²), with mostly single-family homes (65%) and a high proportion of owner-occupied properties (85%). One resident describes the neighbourhood as "reasonably okay" but notes that the complex is not included in planned renovations for the Geesterduin 2.0 area. They mention poor insulation and mould issues, as well as safety concerns: "the complex is easy to access for burglaries and is very prone to break-ins." The police are said to be responsive. This is based on a single review, so it's one perspective on the neighbourhood Molendijk.
For daily shopping, Vomar is just around the corner and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are also several schools within walking distance: Kindcentrum Helmgras and Basisschool De Kustlijn for primary education, and Jac P Thijsse College for secondary. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality Castricum offers parks and a library within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Hopman woonmakelaars Castricum and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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.
