Pleasant

It's a cosy and above all green neighbourhood, which is also close to the city centre! The residents are sometimes a bit older, which makes it very quiet.

Beautiful Middelburg

I live right in the centre with all amenities available. Everything is also kept clean by the municipality. The city is always buzzing, always busy and lively. Plenty of choice in terms of shops, cafés and restaurants too. I love it here!!
