Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a small but cosy and close-knit community. The area is also clean and there's little trouble with pests. If I could change something, it would be that more facilities are added or that more is done to make sports clubs more well-known and appealing to young people.

About Burgwal 33A, Den Burg
The asking price is 52% below the average asking price in Den Burg (€583,555), but the home is also smaller than average (57 m² vs 123 m²). The price per m² works out at about €4,882, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,080 per m². Given the compact size and the fact that it's a semi-detached house, the price is in line with the market.
The home has energy label B, which is above average for the neighbourhood (23.3% of homes in Den Burg have label B). A B label means the home is reasonably energy-efficient, so you can expect moderate heating costs. It's not as efficient as an A label, but it's a solid score for a home built in 2000.
The nearest train station is 14 km away. That's a drive of about 15-20 minutes to Den Helder station, which connects to the rest of the Netherlands. On the island itself, public transport is limited, so a car or bike is handy for getting around.
