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 very conservative and similar to their roots however they are also pretty open and accepting which I do love.

They're are so many people driving on the streets in golf carts, even child are driving them. The little town is quiet and feels safe for the most part. they're are a lot of police, especially down on Nederland Ave. The have this cute little coffee bar down on Boston Ave that is really amazing. The people are nice enough, and the schools are really good. This town reminds me of what the old west would be like, because of the way the shops are located. This would be a good place to raise your children.

I like Nederland because all of my family and friends live here, I am able to have more opportunity's here with job searches because I have people who have my back and can put in a good word. Thats the good thing about small towns, now that I am figuring everything out I have a lot of support. I one day would like to move though, just to see more of the world and what is out there to offer.

Nederland is a small town in Texas with a big heart for tradition and culture! I have grown up here and would love to raise my kids in an area with good morals and values!
