Living in Absdaalseweg, Hulst
Absdaalseweg is one of the quieter neighbourhoods on the edge of the city of Hulst, in the Zeelandic Flanders region. Those who live here experience a neighbourhood that feels more village-like than urban, despite its location close to the centre of Hulst. The housing stock consists mainly of detached and semi-detached homes, many built in the 1970s and 1980s. The plots are generally spacious, contributing to the green, subdued character of the streets.
The neighbourhood attracts many people aged 65 and over, who, with 140 out of 330 residents, form the largest age group. This says something about the atmosphere: quiet, orderly, little nuisance. Families with young children are fewer, but primary schools in Hulst are easily accessible by bicycle. For daily shopping, you can go to the centre of Hulst, a short drive away, where supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Aldi are located. The historic centre of Hulst, with its medieval ramparts and characteristic market square, can be reached by bicycle in a few minutes.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. On the neighbourhood page of Absdaalseweg you will find all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident describes it as follows: "You really live quietly here, the neighbours know each other and there is little fuss on the street. Ideal if you are done with the hustle and bustle."
