Oostburg, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Mr. P.C. Hennequinstraat sits in a modest part of Oostburg, a town in the municipality of Sluis. With 128 m² of living space and a 325 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The energy label is E, so heating costs will be something to factor in. Priced at €315,000, it sits below the average for detached houses in Sluis and is keenly priced compared to the neighbourhood median of €299,000.
Oostburg has around 4,310 residents, with many older people and a fair number of single-person households. It's a quiet, not very urban area (address density 800 per km²). Reviews from nine residents give an average score of 6.57, but opinions vary. One resident says: "We had a beautiful neighbourhood. Now some places look like a scrap heap. Most people want to leave here." Another describes "a dead-end street with far too many cars" and mentions tensions with neighbours. The municipality Sluis covers a wide rural area, so amenities are spread out.
For groceries, you have the Albert Heijn just 95 metres away, literally on your doorstep. The Aldi is a couple of streets away, and the Jumbo and Lidl are about a five-minute walk. Schools are also close: the Zwin College secondary school is just around the corner, and two primary schools, Basisschool Sint Bavo and Basisschool de Berenburcht, are about a five-minute walk away. A park or garden is just 200 metres off, so a quick stroll gets you to green space.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Anders Vastgoed, Funda, Vastgoed Nederland and Pararius.

New residents, sneaky, accuse me of a rat infestation, I get the housing association on my back. There is no rat infestation. Harassing, they want to get rid of me, that's clear, but I'm not leaving a house where I've lived since 2003. Those PMD bags are put out at times when they're not collected, that attracts vermin. Everyone is very much to themselves, I don't mind because I am too. Dogs bark, one sits locked in a cage all day, never goes outside, maybe gets walked once every 6 months. Next to me they have guinea pigs outside in a hutch, food scraps everywhere, and then I'm accused of a rat infestation? I don't even have a pet, I regularly have a gardener come because I can't do it myself anymore. Mould in the bathroom, airing doesn't help. Kitchen installed, a complete farce, but a woman can't read drawings *cough* and then they come a year ago asking if I want a different kitchen, I'm not going to sit in the noise and mess for another whole week, and there's nothing wrong with that kitchen.

Auto-translated to English by AIGenerally good, I have no contact with 1 neighbour; quarrel is a strong word but several people have had difficulties with this neighbour. It is a fairly quiet neighbourhood and I have good contact with some people, the neighbours across the street are friends. But it's not like it used to be, the social cohesion has decreased. The cohesion that exists takes place between small and thus separate groups on the street. But overall, it's good living, fairly quiet.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe poor road surface was supposed to be replaced ten years ago, along with the sewer system. A few neighbours are sociable towards various people. Many people on the street have little contact with each other. The municipality of Sluis is only concerned with increasing the burden on citizens every year, as well as the water board, etc. You don't see them and you don't hear from them!

The Albert Heijn is just 95 metres away, so you can walk there in a minute. The Aldi is 159 metres, and the Jumbo and Lidl are about 400 metres, all within easy walking distance.
