At €379,000, the price is in line with the market for such a home, see other detached houses in Sluis for comparison.
Oostburg has a mixed reputation. One resident describes it as "a dead-end street with far too many cars," while another says it's "impoverished" and "starting to look like a rough area." A third review notes: "We had a beautiful neighbourhood. Now some places look like a scrap heap." Based on three reviews, the picture is not rosy. CBS data shows a relatively older population, with many single-person households. The neighbourhood is not very urban, with an address density of 800 per km².

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 AIWe had a beautiful neighbourhood. Neat streets everywhere tidy. It's starting to look like a rough area now. Sloppy dirty.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe had a beautiful neighbourhood. Now some places look like a scrap heap. Most people want to leave here.
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!

About Nieuwstraat 79, Oostburg

Built in 1842, this is an older home with plenty of character. Despite its age, it has an energy label A, meaning it's well insulated and efficient. The listing doesn't mention any recent renovations, but the energy label suggests modern upgrades.
Oostburg has a mixed reputation. Some residents express dissatisfaction, mentioning untidiness and a decline in the area. Others note that people keep to themselves. The population is older, with many single-person households. It's a quiet, not very urban area with an address density of 800 per km².
The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
