Den Burg, Texel
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Burdetstraat 17 in Den Burg has a wonderfully lived-in feel, with its 1924 build and generous 175 m² of floor space. The energy label is G, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €790,000, the asking price is 35% above the neighbourhood average of €583,555, which is on the high side, but then you are getting a property that is 42% larger than the typical home in the area.

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 Burdetstraat 17, Den Burg
The asking price is 35% above the neighbourhood average of €583,555, which puts it on the high side. However, the home is also 42% larger than the typical property in Den Burg (175 m² vs 123 m²), and it is a detached house, a type that often commands a premium. Whether it is fair depends on how much the extra space and character are worth to you.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating costs, especially in a detached house of this size. The home was built in 1924 and likely has limited insulation. In the neighbourhood, only about 20.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this property is less efficient than most. It is worth budgeting for energy improvements.
Den Burg has a mix of households, with about 825 families with children and many older residents. Residents describe it as a social, close-knit community where people help each other. There are several primary schools within walking distance and a secondary school nearby, so it is practical for families with school-age children.
Aldi is just around the corner (379 m), and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away (493 m). The village centre has restaurants, a library, and a GP surgery within a ten-minute walk. For more extensive shopping, you would need to travel further, but daily essentials are well covered.
The nearest train station is 14 km away, so this is not a commuter-friendly location by rail. Most residents will rely on a car or bicycle for longer journeys. The island of Texel is car-dependent in general, but Den Burg itself is compact and walkable.
The neighbourhood recorded 154 total crimes, which for a population of 6,675 works out at about 23 per 1,000 residents, a moderate figure. Residents mention the area is clean and there is little trouble with pests, and the overall feel is safe and quiet.
