West-Terschelling, Terschelling
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Burgemeester Swaanstraat sits in the heart of West-Terschelling, a village where the Wadden Sea breeze and the pace of island life set the tone. With 140 m² of living space and a plot of 118 m², it is a compact but self-contained home from 1973. The asking price of €415,000 is on the high side compared to other detached houses in Terschelling, partly because of the island's limited supply.
West-Terschelling is a village of about 2,470 residents, where many households consist of single people (835) and a relatively large share of residents are 65 or older (645). Two residents describe it as a nice neighbourhood where people help each other, though one notes that street cleaning could be better. The other, who has lived here for 43 years, appreciates the residential feel and shops within walking distance, with nature very close by. The neighbourhood West-Terschelling is not very urbanised, with an address density of 407 per km².
For your morning bread, the SPAR is just around the corner, and there are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Ds Vossersschool voor Christelijk Basisonderwijs and Obs Prinses Margrietschool. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the nearest GP is a couple of streets away. The municipality Terschelling covers the entire island, so secondary schools are a longer trip, the nearest is about 5.5 km away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Makelaardij Van Keulen Terschelling B.V., Makelaardij Terschelling, and others.

We have a nice neighbourhood here where we can help each other! Sometimes it would be nice to have a neighbourhood day or something.
Auto-translated to English by AIA lively neighbourhood, shops within walking distance, unfortunately street cleaning leaves something to be desired but otherwise fine to live. Nature very close by.

About Burgemeester Swaanstraat 6, West-Terschelling
The price is on the high side compared to other vrijstaande woningen in Terschelling, but island properties often carry a premium due to limited supply. The home has 140 m² of space and an F energy label, which means higher heating costs to expect. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly how it stacks up.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high heating costs. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but this particular home will need investment in insulation or a new heating system to improve efficiency.
The nearest train station is 33 km away, which is on the mainland. West-Terschelling is on the island of Terschelling, so you would need to take a ferry to reach the station. The distance is given as the crow flies.
The SPAR supermarket is 251 metres away, just around the corner. There are two primary schools within about 650 metres, a GP at 0.6 km, and a restaurant at 0.3 km. For a larger supermarket like PLUS or Jumbo, you would need to travel over 5 km.
The neighbourhood recorded 68 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively low for a village of this size. Residents mention it is a nice neighbourhood where people help each other, though one notes that street cleaning could be better.
The house was built in 1973, so it is over 50 years old. With an F energy label, it likely needs updates to insulation, heating, or windows. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should budget for improvements.
