Breskens, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis 2022-built apartment on Westhavendam sits right on the Breskens harbour, with the marina and the Westerschelde estuary as your backdrop. The 102 m² floor plan is laid out over one level, with an energy label A, so heating costs are low. At €825,000, the asking price is 39% above the neighbourhood average of €591,481, which puts it on the high side compared to other apartments in Sluis.
Breskens is a compact village of about 4,280 residents, with a noticeably older population, a third are 65 or over. The neighbourhood has a low urbanity score (4 out of 5), meaning it feels quiet and spacious. Three-quarters of the homes are single-family houses, but this apartment fits right in among the newer developments along the harbour. There are no resident reviews available for this street, so the picture comes from the CBS figures: mostly families and older couples, with average incomes. The municipality Sluis covers a string of similar coastal towns, all with a similar laid-back character.
For your daily bread, the PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a ten-minute walk away. The nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool De Zeemeeuw, is a couple of streets away. There are four other primary schools within 5 km, but secondary school is a longer trip, the nearest is 11 km away. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the park or public garden is just 400 m away, so weekend strolls are easy.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including De Dobbelaere Makelaars, Funda, Pararius and Vastgoed Nederland.

About Westhavendam 15-301, Breskens
The asking price of €825,000 is 39% above the average asking price in Breskens (€591,481) and well above the median of €464,000. However, this is a new-build (2022) apartment with an A energy label, which commands a premium. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,549, so at €8,088/m² this apartment is significantly more expensive per square metre. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the harbour location and modern finish.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and low energy costs. In Breskens, only about 11% of homes have label A or better, so this apartment is among the most energy-efficient in the area.
The nearest train station is 44.3 km away, so this is not a home for daily commuting by rail. Breskens is a coastal village best reached by car or bus.
