What to consider when buying in 't Sandt
Pros:
- Beach town with direct access to the North Sea; families can walk to the shore from residential streets in under 10 minutes
- Quieter than Zandvoort or Scheveningen; fewer tourists and less through-traffic
- Good cycle connections via LF1a (Friese route) and local paths to Leiden Station (20 minutes by bike)
- Straightforward family housing stock: mostly mid-sized terraced houses and bungalows built 1950s–1980s
Cons:
- No direct train station in 't Sandt itself; nearest is Katwijk aan Zee station, 2 km away or a 15-minute walk
- Limited commercial life; most shops and restaurants cluster near Zeestraat (the seafront strip), leaving residential areas quiet in evenings
- Salt spray and coastal wind mean more maintenance on exterior paintwork and gardens
- Summer parking chaos when beach visitors flood the town; locals often lose street spaces July–August

Finding a home in Katwijk
Katwijk sits in the quieter reaches of Land van Cuijk, where you're buying a home in a place neighbors actually know each other. Most houses here are detached or semi-detached, with room to breathe and space around you—the kind of setup families in the region prefer. You're close to the Maas river if you want to walk or cycle, and Nijmegen is a straightforward 20 minutes away for work or a night out. The schools and local shops keep things practical; this isn't a place trying to be trendy, but that's exactly the point.
