Buying a home in Overige verspreide huizen Valkenburg, Valkenburg.
You're looking at scattered homes on the edges of Valkenburg, the kind of place where your neighbours aren't stacked on top of each other. These are mostly detached and semi-detached houses with actual gardens, set back from the main roads. It's quieter than central Katwijk, but you're still within reach of the beach and Leiden's train connections. Expect older, solid family homes here—the bones are good, but renovations are common.
