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 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 Steenbok 5, Oostburg
The asking price of €865,000 is significantly above the neighbourhood average of €340,959 and is the highest among the 37 homes currently for sale in Oostburg.

The price per square metre works out at about €3,089, which is above the local average of €2,664 per m². Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and the large plot.
The home has an energy label C. This is a middling rating, meaning the property is reasonably efficient but not outstanding. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label C, while 19.2% have label A and 30.8% have label D or lower. With label C, you can expect moderate energy costs, but it is worth noting that the home was built in 1979, so some improvements may have been made over the years.
The plot measures 900 m², which is generous for a detached home in this area. The listing does not specify whether there is a garden, but the size of the plot suggests plenty of outdoor space.
