Living in Verspreide huizen De Koog en het Duingebied, Texel
This is not an ordinary residential area with terraced houses and a playground around the corner. Verspreide huizen De Koog en het Duingebied is exactly what the name says: scattered homes in and around the extensive dune landscape between De Koog and the North Sea coast. Think detached houses, holiday homes that are permanently occupied, and here and there a farmhouse or country house hidden behind the dunes. The atmosphere is distinctly quiet, sometimes almost remote. You can hear the sea, it is always windy, and your neighbours do not live next door but a bit further away.
When it comes to amenities, you have to be realistic. In the neighbourhood itself you will find little to nothing. For daily groceries you rely on De Koog, where there is a small Albert Heijn and some shops, or Den Burg for a larger range with supermarkets, shops and restaurants. Primary schools are in De Koog and Den Burg. For secondary education, children go to OSG De Hogeberg in Den Burg. Sports facilities such as swimming pool Molenkoog and tennis courts are also in Den Burg.
Accessibility is typically Texel. You are dependent on the car or bicycle. Bus line 28 (Connexxion) runs across the island, but the stops are often not right on your doorstep. It takes about 20 minutes by car to the ferry port in 't Horntje. From there, the TESO ferry takes you to Den Helder in 20 minutes, where you can connect to the train towards Alkmaar and Amsterdam. Expect a travel time of one and a half to two hours to Amsterdam, including the crossing. This makes commuting to the mainland difficult, although some residents (labour participation 68%) work on the island itself or remotely.
The population composition is telling: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (170 of the 485 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (115). Single-person households form the largest group (110). Only 37% are married. The education level is relatively high: 45% are highly educated. The average income of €32,000 is slightly below the Texel average of €33,300. Residents particularly value the peace and nature. "You really live in nature here, with deer in the garden and a sunset over the dunes," writes a resident on the page with resident reviews. Compared to neighbourhoods like Oosterend or De Waal, it is less village-like and more solitary here. Those looking for a close-knit neighbourhood feel are better off in those villages.
