Living in the Eierland and Eendracht polders on Texel
This is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. The scattered houses in the Eierland and Eendracht polders are spread across the northern part of Texel, between wide polder grasslands, sheep farms and the dunes that run towards the North Sea. Here you don't live on a street with house numbers next to each other, but on a farmstead along a polder dyke, with views over the flat land as far as the lighthouse. The buildings consist of a mix of historic farmhouses (sometimes converted into homes or B&Bs), post-war polder houses and a handful of newer detached homes. Many homes date from the period 1950-1980, when the polders were further reclaimed and built on.
For daily groceries you go to De Cocksdorp, the nearest village, where you will find a small supermarket (Spar), a bakery and a few catering establishments. For a larger selection you have to go to Den Burg, the main village of Texel, about a 15 to 20 minute drive. Primary schools are in De Cocksdorp (obs De Kiekendief) and in Den Burg. For secondary education, children go to OSG De Hogeberg in Den Burg. For sports, there is tennis club De Cocksdorp and you can enjoy various water sports opportunities around the Slufter and the beach of De Cocksdorp. Nature is the biggest facility here: the dune area, the Slufter, the Eierland polder and the bird-rich nature reserve around the lighthouse offer endless walking and cycling opportunities.
Accessibility is typically Texel: you are dependent on the car or bicycle. Bus line 28 of Connexxion runs across the island, but the frequency is limited, especially outside the season. The ferry port in 't Horntje is about a 25-minute drive away. In summer, the roads can be busy due to tourists, but outside the season you have the peace and quiet all to yourself. Residents of this area particularly appreciate the space and the silence. "You only hear the wind and the birds here, that's exactly why we came to live here," writes a resident in a review. At the same time, the limited facilities are mentioned as a point of attention: you have to think ahead about your shopping and for many things you have to leave the island. Compared to neighbourhoods such as the Het Noorden polder or the Burger Nieuwland polders, it is even more sparsely populated here and everything is even further from the village centre. That makes it special, but it is not suitable for everyone.
