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 Waalderstraat 11, Den Burg
The asking price of €284,500 is 51% below the average neighbourhood asking price of €583,555. However, the home is also much smaller than average (36 m² vs 123 m²). Given its compact size and historic character, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small terraced house in Den Burg.
Den Burg is a friendly, social village with a close-knit community. Residents describe it as 'cosy' and 'clean', with little trouble from pests. The population is diverse, with a good mix of ages and many families. It's a quiet, safe place to live, though some residents wish for more facilities for young people.
The nearest train station is 14 km away, which is a drive of about 15-20 minutes. Den Burg is on the island of Texel, so you'd need to take a ferry to the mainland for train connections.
Supermarkets Albert Heijn, Aldi, Ekoplaza and Jumbo are all within a couple of streets away. Several primary schools are within a five-minute walk, and secondary school OSG de Hogeberg is about a ten-minute walk. Daily errands are easily done on foot.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation could help.
With a price well below the neighbourhood average and a compact layout, this could be an affordable option for a single person or couple. The historic character and central location in Den Burg add to its appeal. However, the small size (36 m²) means space is limited.
