Living in Verspreide huizen Op Het Oude Land, Texel

Verspreide huizen Op Het Oude Land is no ordinary neighbourhood. It is a collection of scattered homes in the oldest, southwestern part of Texel, between the villages and the polders. No rigid street plans or terraced houses here, but detached homes along dykes, narrow roads and in the open landscape. The atmosphere is rural, expansive and quiet. Those who live here consciously choose space and tranquillity, with sheep in the meadow and a sky that seems bigger than anywhere on the mainland.

The homes vary in construction period. You will find historic farmhouses from the 19th century alongside post-war homes and modern new builds. Many houses have been made more sustainable in recent years, but the average gas consumption of 1,560 m³ and electricity consumption of 3,550 kWh show that there are also older, less insulated properties. The largest age group is 45-65 years (320 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (295). You notice that: it is a neighbourhood of established residents, not starters.

Daily amenities are not around the corner. For a supermarket, GP or primary school, you go to Den Burg, the largest village on the island and about five to ten minutes' drive away. In Den Burg you will find, among others, a Jumbo, an Albert Heijn and several primary schools. To the south, Den Hoorn is an option for a smaller village feel with its own supermarket and church. Sports clubs, such as football club SV Texel and tennis club in Den Burg, are easily accessible. Nature is your greatest amenity: the dune area, the Hoge Berg and the Wadden Sea dyke are within cycling distance.

In terms of accessibility, Texel is an island, so you are dependent on the TESO ferry to Den Helder. From the ferry terminal, you are in the area by car in ten to fifteen minutes. Public transport consists of the Texelhopper, a demand-driven bus system that takes you door-to-door. However, a car here is not a luxury but a necessity, especially in winter when tourism subsides. Residents appreciate the outdoor life, but mention the dependence on the ferry and the limited amenities as downsides. "You have to like peace and quiet and not go crazy when the ferry is cancelled due to storms," writes a resident on the page with resident reviews of this neighbourhood.

Compared to village neighbourhoods such as Oosterend or De Waal, you really live remotely here. That is exactly what residents are looking for. Within the district Het Oude Land en duingebied, this is the most rural and expensive part, partly due to the large plots and the unique location.

Is a home for sale in Verspreide huizen Op Het Oude Land right for you?

With an average purchase price of over 1.2 million euros, buying a home in Verspreide huizen Op Het Oude Land is reserved for movers with a substantial budget or buyers looking for a second home. Starters have little chance here, unless you aim for the lower end of the market around €137,500, but that supply is very limited. Families with older children who love the outdoors fit in well here. Seniors already form a large group and find the peace they seek, although you must take into account that care and shops are not within walking distance. An honest drawback: the supply is small and competition for the finest properties is fierce. Looking for a more affordable alternative?
