NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Dorpsstraat in Hoorn (Fr) sits in a quiet corner of Terschelling, where the Wadden Sea breeze and village pace set the tone. Built in 1951, the home has a solid, no-nonsense feel with 103 m² of living space.

About Dorpsstraat 2, Hoorn (Fr)
The price is on the high side for an apartment in Terschelling, especially given the F energy label, which means higher heating costs. However, the 103 m² floor area and the quiet, rural location in Verspreide huizen Hoorn-Zuid are unique. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly, but the listing price reflects the scarcity of such properties on the island.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high energy bills, especially in winter. The label is based on the 1951 construction year and likely outdated heating and insulation. It is worth factoring in potential renovation costs for improvements.
The nearest train station is 42.3 km away, which is a long drive. Terschelling is an island without a rail connection, so you would need to take a ferry to the mainland and then travel to a station. Car or bus travel is essential for longer journeys.
The closest primary school is Obs 't Hunnighouwersgat at 3.5 km, and the secondary school 't Schylger Jouw is at 3.6 km. Both are a short drive away. There are also other schools further afield on the island, but for daily school runs, these are the most convenient.
According to CBS data, there were zero total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. With only 40 residents and a very low population density, it is an extremely quiet and safe area. The rural setting means little to no street crime or nuisance.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated either, so it is unclear if there is any private outdoor space. Given the rural surroundings, there is plenty of nature nearby, but the home itself may not have a dedicated garden.
