Schiermonnikoog, Schiermonnikoog
NeighbourhoodThis top-floor apartment on Torenstreek sits on the Wadden island of Schiermonnikoog, where the air smells of salt and the pace of life slows down. With 144 m² of living space and an A energy label, it is a comfortable, energy-efficient home. The asking price of €1,175,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Schiermonnikoog, but the island's unique character and limited supply explain that.
The neighbourhood Schiermonnikoog is the only village on the island, with fewer than 900 residents. It is a quiet, close-knit community where many households consist of a single person (290) and a quarter of the population is 65 or older. There are no neighbourhood reviews available, but the low crime rate (19 incidents) and the fact that everyone knows each other speak for themselves.
For your morning bread, the SPAR is just around the corner. The island's only school, Dockinga College vestiging Inspecteur Boelensschool, is a couple of streets away for secondary education. Primary school children travel to the mainland, but the ferry makes it manageable. The municipality Schiermonnikoog covers the entire island, so everything from the GP to the library is within a five-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including Makelaardij Schiphuis, Vastgoed Nederland and Funda.

The price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Schiermonnikoog, but the island has a very limited housing stock and this is a spacious, energy-efficient top-floor apartment. Without comparable sales data in the neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the unique location on a Wadden island commands a premium.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating costs and a comfortable indoor climate. This is a strong selling point, especially on an island where energy can be more expensive.
The nearest train station is 39.1 km away, on the mainland in Leeuwarden. To reach it, you take the ferry from Schiermonnikoog to Lauwersoog and then a bus or taxi. The journey takes about an hour in total.
The SPAR is just 230 metres away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. It is the only supermarket on the island, but it stocks daily essentials. For a larger selection, you would need to take the ferry to the mainland.
