Verspreide huizen Hollum, Ameland
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Oosterhiemweg in Hollum sits on the Wadden island of Ameland, where the pace of life is dictated by the tides and the wind. With 54 m² of living space and an E energy label, it is a compact home that will need some attention on heating costs. The asking price of €242,500 is in line with what you would expect for an apartment in this part of the island. For a broader view, have a look at other apartments in Ameland.
The area around the home is very rural, with only about 100 residents spread out. Most homes are owner-occupied (64%) and the vast majority are single-family houses (88%), so this apartment is something of an exception. The population is mixed, with a fair share of older residents and few children. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so it is hard to say what daily life feels like. For more details, see the neighbourhood Verspreide huizen Hollum.
For your daily shopping, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, about a five-minute walk away. There are two primary schools within walking distance: Christelijke Basisschool Koningin Wilhelmina and Openbare Basisschool De Schakel, both about a ten-minute walk. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the nearest GP is a couple of streets away. The island's wider amenities, like secondary schools and a library, are a bit further out.

About Oosterhiemweg 1-027, Hollum
The price is in line with what you would expect for an apartment of this size and age on Ameland. The E energy label means heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home, so factor that into your budget. There are no recent sales figures for the immediate neighbourhood to compare, but the asking price seems reasonable for the island market.
The home has an energy label E, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the property is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. The exact costs depend on usage and energy prices, but it is something to be aware of.
The PLUS supermarket is about 730 metres away, which is roughly a five-minute walk. There is also a SPAR about 3.2 km away, but for daily shopping the PLUS is very convenient. The home is in a quiet, rural setting, so having a supermarket within walking distance is a plus.
There are two primary schools within about 800 metres: Christelijke Basisschool Koningin Wilhelmina and Openbare Basisschool De Schakel. Both are within a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 8.7 km away, so a longer commute or a move to the mainland would be needed for older children.
The nearest train station is 44.2 km away, which is quite a distance. Given that the home is on an island, you would need to take a ferry to the mainland and then travel further to reach a station. This is not a home for daily commuting by train.
The neighbourhood is very rural with only about 100 residents spread out. Most homes are owner-occupied and the area is quiet, with few children. The urbanity score is 5 (not urban), so you are surrounded by nature and space. There are no resident reviews available, but the area is typical of the Wadden island lifestyle.
