Oudelande: peace and space, but don't count on urban amenities
Oudelande is a small Zeeland village with just over 665 residents. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, and almost half of the households are married. The village has a distinctly rural character: little traffic, little hustle and bustle, and a community where everyone knows each other. That is exactly what some people are looking for, and exactly what puts others off.
On Buurtje.nl, Oudelande scores an average of 4.0 based on a resident review. That score doesn't tell the whole story. Resident Frederik describes the area as quiet and small-scale, but also makes critical comments about education and accessibility. The accessibility score of 1.0 out of 10 is remarkably low and fits what you would expect from a remote Zeeland village: no train station, limited public transport, and for daily shopping you rely on the car. Anyone without a driving licence or dependent on public transport will find it difficult here. Read all resident experiences on the Oudelande neighbourhood page for a more complete picture.
The safety score of 9.0 stands out positively and fits the scale of the village: here people know each other, and that affects the feeling of safety. In terms of green space, Oudelande scores a 3.0, which seems surprisingly low for a rural village, but may be related to the limited availability of public green spaces or play facilities. Amenities score a 4.0, which is realistic: a small centre like Kern Oudelande has no supermarket within walking distance, and the Buitengebied Oudelande is even quieter. For daily amenities, you head to Heinkenszand or Goes.
Renting in Oudelande: who is this village suitable for, and who is it not?
Oudelande is suitable for people who consciously choose peace, space and a small community, and who are mobile with their own car. Families and older couples who are not dependent on urban amenities will feel at home here. For young people, people without a car, or those who need shops, catering and public transport within walking distance, this village is less suitable. Moreover, the supply of rental homes in Oudelande is so small that as a tenant you have little choice. Then also consider the homes for sale in Oudelande as an alternative, or broaden your search area to surrounding places.

yo your beloved Frederik here with another review. this area is pretty good man, it's quiet, only about 3 people live there and no blacks or Turks so no problem. there is a secret cocaine lab underneath so it's a bit risky but otherwise chill. education is mediocre man because there are only 3 people. you can't do a damn thing in this area. community is basically not applicable, it's 3 people who are inbred. cheers, Frederik
