Blauwedijk 45

At €259,000, this apartment is priced 48% below the average asking price in the Markt neighbourhood (€493,923). However, it's also smaller than average at 60 m². The price per square metre works out at roughly €4,317, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,113 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre for a compact home in the centre.

Markt is the historic centre of Middelburg, very lively and densely built. It's popular with singles and young adults, 680 one-person households out of 960 total. There are few families with children. Residents praise the cleanliness, the buzz, and the abundance of shops, cafés and restaurants. The neighbourhood scores a 9.44 out of 10 from two reviews.
