Living in Winkel: polder, peace and a close-knit community
Winkel is a North Holland polder village in the municipality of Hollands Kroon, located in the Wieringermeer. It is not a village that stands out for its bustle or amenities within walking distance, but rather for the space, the openness of the landscape and the involvement of residents with each other. On the neighbourhood page of Winkel, residents give the village a 7.6 out of 10. Notably high scores are for green space (9.0), safety (8.0) and accessibility (8.0). The community score of 6.0 is slightly lower, which residents describe as: it is quiet and you know your neighbours, but don't expect major social activities. For those who don't mind that, that is actually a plus.
The immediate living environment varies greatly by neighbourhood. In the Bomenbuurt and Winkelmadepark, families live in quiet streets with greenery around the corner. Around the Dorpsstraat and surroundings, you will find more older buildings with character. Those looking for more space and rurality should look towards Buitengebied Winkel, where detached houses sit on spacious plots. In terms of amenities, Winkel has a primary school, a village hall and several sports clubs including a football club. For daily groceries, residents rely on nearby larger villages such as Anna Paulowna or Schagen, about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away.
Accessibility by car is good thanks to its location near the N99 towards Den Helder and the connection to the A7 via Wieringerwerf. By bus, Winkel is accessible via Connexxion lines that run towards Anna Paulowna and Schagen, although the car is the primary transport option for most residents. The nearest train station is Schagen, about fifteen minutes' drive away. Those considering buying in the region can also look at Anna Paulowna, Wieringerwaard or Hippolytushoef as comparable villages in the municipality. More about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Hollands Kroon.
For which buyers is Winkel a good choice?
Winkel mainly attracts families and people over forty who consciously choose peace, space and a low-crime environment. Starters can sometimes still find a starter home under €300,000, but supply is limited and competition is real. When buying, take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-starters), notary fees and any structural survey. Those still unsure whether buying is the right time can also look at rental homes in Winkel as a temporary alternative. Buying an apartment in Winkel is not very realistic; the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-based homes.
