Damplein, Middelburg
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Rouaansekaai sits in the oldest part of Middelburg, where the streets hum with café life and the smell of the sea drifts in from the nearby canal. At 60 m² it is compact, but the 1765 construction gives it character you won't find in a new build. The asking price of €279,000 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €466,868, which makes it a keen entry into the market for apartments in Middelburg.
Damplein is the historic core of Middelburg, with a very high address density of 2,746 addresses per km². The population of 1,750 is older on average, 41% are 65 or over, and many live alone (685 single-person households). There are few children (85 under 15), so the streets are quiet in the evenings. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, but the figures paint a picture of a mature, central area where life revolves around the market square and the abbey. The Damplein neighbourhood is one of the most historic in the city.
Your morning bread run is a five-minute walk to the SPAR on the corner. For a bigger shop, Jumbo is a ten-minute walk and Albert Heijn is about the same. School runs are short: ABS Middelburg primary school is just around the corner, and Calvijn College secondary school is a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the park or public garden is just a few minutes' stroll. The municipality of Middelburg has all the amenities you need within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Huisportaal and HuisPortaal.

About Rouaansekaai 37, Middelburg
The asking price is 40% below the average asking price in Damplein (€466,868) and also below the median of €425,000. However, the floor area of 60 m² is 52% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 124 m². The price per m² works out at €4,650, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,589 per m². So the price is keen for the area, but you are paying for the historic location and compact size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Damplein, 28% of homes have label C, while 40% have D or lower. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, but it is worth checking the exact insulation and heating system.
The train station is 0.7 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it easy to reach other cities in Zeeland or further into the Netherlands without needing a car.
Damplein is very central, with a supermarket (SPAR) just 371 m away and a restaurant 0.2 km from the door. The area has a high density of amenities, including a library (0.6 km) and a park (0.4 km). The population is older and many live alone, so it is a quiet, mature neighbourhood rather than a family-oriented one.
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. The nearest primary school is ABS Middelburg at 598 m, and the nearest secondary school is Calvijn College Middelburg at 523 m. Both are about a five- to ten-minute walk, making the morning school run easy.
There are currently 34 homes for sale in Damplein, with prices ranging from €110,000 to €1,200,000. The average time on the market for sold homes is 59 days, which suggests a fairly active market. This apartment is priced at the lower end, so it may attract interest.
In the most recent data, there were 112 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. Given the population of 1,750, that works out at about 64 crimes per 1,000 residents. This is relatively high, but typical for a city centre with many shops and visitors. It is worth considering if you are used to a quieter suburban area.
