Oostburg, Sluis
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Sirius in Oostburg offers a generous 188 m² of living space on a 500 m² plot. Built in 1975, it has an energy label C. With a price of €499,000, it sits well above the neighbourhood average, about 46% higher than the typical asking price in Oostburg. That reflects the extra space and the detached character, which is less common in this area. For context, detached houses in Sluis tend to command a premium.
Oostburg has around 4,310 residents, with a notable share of older people, nearly a third are 65 or over. It's a fairly quiet, low-density area (urbanity score 4 out of 5). Resident reviews paint a mixed picture. One resident describes it as "a dead-end street with far too many cars" and complains about neighbour disputes and neglect. Another says: "We had a beautiful neighbourhood. Neat streets everywhere tidy. It's starting to look like a rough area now. Sloppy dirty." A third echoes: "We had a beautiful neighbourhood. Now some places look like a scrap heap. Most people want to leave here." These are based on nine reviews, so take them as individual experiences. The municipality Sluis covers a wider rural area.
For daily shopping, you have Jumbo and Lidl both just around the corner (about 500 m away), and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. There are two primary schools within a couple of streets away: Basisschool de Berenburcht and Basisschool Sint Bavo. Secondary education is at Zwin College, about 863 m away. A park or public garden is on your doorstep. The nearest train station is 48.9 km away, so a car is essential for longer journeys.

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!

About Sirius 3, Oostburg
The asking price is €499,000, which is about 46% above the average asking price in Oostburg (€340,959). However, this home is much larger than average (188 m² vs 139 m²) and is a detached house, which is a less common type in the neighbourhood. The price per square metre works out at around €2,654, close to the neighbourhood average of €2,664. So while the total price is high, it reflects the extra space and property type.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (1975). In Oostburg, about 38.5% of homes have label C, and 30.8% have a lower label. Label C means reasonable energy efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs. It's not as efficient as modern homes but better than older, uninsulated properties.
The plot size is 500 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden, terrace or other outdoor space. A plot of this size typically allows for a private garden, but you would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
