The low community score stands out. One resident writes candidly about the social dynamics in the village: according to him, Koekange is not very open to newcomers, and refugees in the village are shouted at. He describes the atmosphere as closed and intolerant towards outsiders. That is one voice, but it is a signal that potential buyers should take seriously, especially if they have a diverse background or are used to an open urban environment.

Koekange consists of several neighbourhoods: besides the core, there are Koekange Noord, Koekange Zuid, the Koekangerveld, and the scattered houses in the rural area.

For whom is buying in Koekange a realistic option?
Koekange mainly attracts movers and buyers who consciously choose space, peace, and a large home in the countryside. With an average sale price of over €615,000 and a minimum price of €349,500, this is not a starter market. Starters would do well to take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary fees, and possible renovation costs for older properties. Supply is limited, so when something suitable comes up, quick action is wise. Those who want more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Koekange, although that share is small at 17%.

Many farmers who can't handle it when you form your own opinion. Refugees in our village are simply called names like black dogs by children. This is not new! This is a village that accepts nothing from outside and is extremely racist. I also smoke a joint for pain, but I'm treated like a junkie and immediately assumed to be a dealer? Bad experiences with people from the neighbourhood because they only accept their own. Hardly anything to do for young people, especially if you're 18+. I attended both primary schools; I was bullied at the OBS, and the CBS was also a bad environment for a child.
