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 't Schuttebocht 14, Oostburg
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €340,959, but this home is much larger than typical (237 m² vs 139 m² average) and is a detached house, which commands a premium. The price per m² works out at about €2,064, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,664 per m², so you're getting more space for your money.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1968. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label C, and 30.8% have a lower label. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not as low as a modern A-rated home.
Oostburg has a mixed reputation. Some residents feel it has declined, with comments about untidiness and a 'rough' feel. Others mention issues with neighbours and maintenance. The neighbourhood has a low urbanity score (4 out of 5, with 5 being least urban) and an address density of 800 per km², so it's quite rural.
There are three schools within a kilometre: Basisschool Sint Bavo (238 pupils) at 827 m, Basisschool de Berenburcht (130 pupils) at 862 m, and Zwin College (secondary, 748 pupils) at 578 m. All are within a ten-minute walk.
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.
Aldi is 274 m away, Albert Heijn 322 m, and Jumbo and Lidl both at 798 m. So you have several options within a short walk.
The plot is 628 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
