Damplein, Middelburg
NeighbourhoodThis 1906 apartment on Kinderdijk sits right in the lively centre of Middelburg, with the market square and shops just a couple of streets away. At 47 m² it's a compact home, but the price of €165,000 is 65% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €466,868, a keen entry point into the city. For context, apartments in Middelburg typically sell for more, so this is a rare find.
The neighbourhood Damplein is the historic core of Middelburg, with a very high density of addresses (2,746 per km²) and a strong urban feel. It's a mix of ages: many over-65s (715 residents) and a fair number of 25-45 year olds (380). Most homes are pre-war (58.8%) and the area has a lively, walkable character. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures show a diverse, compact community.
For your morning bread, the SPAR is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a five-minute walk away. Families have two primary schools within walking distance: ABS Middelburg and Wilgenhof. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality Middelburg offers all the amenities you'd expect from a provincial capital.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Faasse & Fermont makelaars te Goes, and also appears on Pararius and Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Kinderdijk 16F, Middelburg
The asking price of €165,000 is 65% below the neighbourhood average of €466,868, but the apartment is also much smaller than average (47 m² vs 124 m²). The price per m² works out at roughly €3,511, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,589 per m². Given the compact size and central location, the price is keen for a starter home in Middelburg.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly common for a pre-war apartment.
The train station is 0.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to travel to other cities without needing a car.
The nearest supermarket is a SPAR at 328 m, just around the corner. A Jumbo is 655 m away (a five-minute walk), and an Albert Heijn is 922 m away (a ten-minute walk). So daily shopping is very convenient.
The neighbourhood has relatively few children (only 85 under 15) and many one-person households (685 out of 1,140 households). It's more of a city-centre area popular with older residents and singles. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the area is not particularly family-oriented.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. With 47 m², it is likely a one-bedroom or studio apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
