An uncommon blend of Western style and Dutch heritage.

Historic • Community • Family-Friendly • Coastal •

Founded in 1897 by Dutch immigrants, Nederland is unique from other Texas towns -- it contains a windmill, for starters, and it is home to the annual Nederland Heritage Festival. Downtown Nederland's main street, Boston Avenue, is also displayed in Dutch on street signs.

If you stroll down "Heeren Straats," you'll find terrific shops and restaurants housed in historic buildings. This is also the location of the festival, which began in 1973 and attracts more than 100,000 visitors for the art show, carnival rides, parade, and events. As for the windmill, this landmark is an exact replica of a Dutch windmill and is used as a museum. Inside the Dutch Windmill Museum, you'll find a unique mix of Western artifacts once owned by Tex Ritter, artifacts from Holland, and a gift shop.

Your Downtown Nederland apartment will be part of the region known as the Golden Triangle, which includes the cities of Port Arthur, Beaumont, and Orange. Downtown Nederland is convenient to Jack Brooks Regional Airport, Central Mall, the Shoppes at Port Arthur, and Babe Zaharias Golf Course.

Nederland is a small town, it's a very family focused community, and is safe. It could definitely use some modernization.

There is not a lot to do in nederland, we have an abundance or restaurants with good food but that's about it. The neighborhood is nice and looks clean.

Nederland is a tightknit community. They often have local events going on and the people are very friendly and nice.

Nederland has nice people like most places, however, they don't have much to offer in the way of alluring scenery. The environment is bland, the refineries are an eye-sore, the local restaurants are all chains you could find anywhere, and the types of people seem to run together. Nederland could be anywhere and no one would know the difference. Everything worth seeing or doing is either in Beaumont or Houston.
