Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a small but cosy and close-knit community. The area is also clean and there's little trouble with pests. If I could change something, it would be that more facilities are added or that more is done to make sports clubs more well-known and appealing to young people.

About Gravenstraat 5A, Den Burg
The asking price is €595,000, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €583,555. However, the apartment is much smaller than average (58 m² vs 123 m²), so the price per m² is higher. The historic character and central location may justify the premium, but it's on the high side compared to other homes in Den Burg.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The home is from 1680, so insulation is likely minimal. In the neighbourhood, only about 20% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is one of the less efficient options.
The nearest train station is 14 km away. That's a drive of about 15-20 minutes. Den Burg is on the island of Texel, so you'd need to take a ferry to the mainland for train connections.
Den Burg is a social and close-knit village centre. Residents describe it as friendly and helpful, with a strong sense of community. It's clean and quiet, though some wish for more facilities for young people. The area has a mix of ages, with many older residents.
Yes, several supermarkets are within walking distance. Ekoplaza is 133 m away, Jumbo 149 m, Aldi 316 m, and Albert Heijn 380 m. So daily shopping is very convenient.
The building was constructed in 1680, making it over 340 years old. It's one of the oldest properties in Den Burg, which gives it historic charm but also means maintenance and energy efficiency may be challenges.
